Target Cell Name
LL/2
Target Cell Organism
Mouse
Target Cell Background
LL/2 (LLC1) is a cell line established from the lung of a C57BL mouse bearing a tumor resulting from an implantation of primary Lewis lung carcinoma.
Target Cell Alternative Name
LLC1

Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro PI Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
LL/2-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.
