Target Cell Name
Kasumi-3
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
The cell line was established from the blast cells of a myeloperoxidase-negative acute leukemia patient. Treatment with either interleukin (IL)-2, IL-3, IL-4, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) or stem cell factor induced the proliferation, characteristic of undifferentiated leukemia.

Short Description
Kasumi-3-cell based In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay is another methodological approach used to determine cell proliferation. BrdU incorporated into synthesized DNA can be determined using BrdU-specific monoclonal antibody. A secondary antibody is used to generate fluorescent sig nal on DNA synthesis.
Assay Alternative Names
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) Assay
Assay Type
Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays
Assay Type Details
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.
