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 PI Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Propidium iodide (PI) is another dye that can be used to distinguish viable and non-viable cells. PI can only bind with DNA of cells with damaged cell membranes and it cannot enter viable cells. Uptake of PI into cells can be monitored by flow cytometry (FCM) or fluorescence microscopy.
Assay Alternative Names
Propidium Iodide 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.
