MCF7 In Vitro SRB Assay (Cell Viability)

This assay is to provide MCF7-based In Vitro SRB Assay (Cell Viability) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

MCF7

Human

MCF-7 is a breast cancer cell line isolated in 1970 from a 69-year-old White woman. MCF-7 is the acronym of Michigan Cancer Foundation-7, referring to the institute in Detroit where the cell line was established in 1973 by Herbert Soule and co-workers. MCF7 are epithelial cells isolated from the breast tissue of a 69-year-old, White, female patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma. Use these cells in your breast cancer research.

MCF7-cell based In Vitro SRB Assay (Cell Viability)

The sulforhodamine B is another common colorimetric assay that is used to investigate viability of cancer cells. The dye SRB can bind with proteins in viable cells under mild acidic conditions, and the bound dye is finally solubilized to get absorbance at 500-540 nm.

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.
