Target Cell Background
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.

Assay Name
In Vitro Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
MCF7-cell based In Vitro Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The intact cell membranes cannot recruit these dyes into cells. Trypan blue can enter into non-viable cells, while viable cells exclude trypan blue. The trypan blue exclusion assay is a simple and commonly used assay for cell viability determination.
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.
