Target Cell Name
L1210
Target Cell Organism
Mouse
Target Cell Background
L1210 is a cell line exhibiting lymphoblast morphology that was isolated from the skin of an eight-month-old, female mouse with lymphocytic leukemia, developed after skin paintings with 0.2% methylcholanthrene in ether. This cell line was deposited by EM Jensen and can be used in immune system disorder research.

Short Description
L1210-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 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.
