K562

Human

K562 cells are of the erythroleukemia type, and the cell line is derived from a 53-year-old female chronic myelogenous leukemia patient in blast crisis. The cells are non-adherent and rounded, are positive for the bcr:abl fusion gene, and bear some proteomic resemblance to both undifferentiated granulocytes and erythrocytes.

K562-cell based In Vitro ATP Assay (Cell Viability)

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is another widely used cell viability assay. When the cancer cells undergo apoptosis or necrosis upon treatment with a compound, cellular ATP content decreases and it can be quantified by colorimetric, fluorometric or luminometric way. The latest bioluminescence assays measure cellular ATP content using the enzyme luciferase which is more sensitive and reproducible when determining cell viability compared to conventional assays.

Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays

Uncontrolled proliferation is one of the main features of cancer cells. Cell-based in vitro assays are employed to determine whether test molecules possess direct cytotoxic/antiproliferative effects in cancer cells.
