Target Cell Name
NALM6
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
Nalm6 is a B cell precursor leukemia cell line initiated from an adolescent male. It is a CD24-positive xenograft model of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Target Cell Alternative Name
NALM-6
Related Diseases
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia; ALL
Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
NALM6-cell based In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Apart from the MTT tetrazolium, other tetrazolium compounds such as XTT (2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) can also gener ate formazan upon reduction by oxidoreductase or dehydrogenase. Unlike the normal MTT assay, assays with these regents (MTS, XTT and WST) do not require formazan solubiliza tion step as solubilization occurs in the cell medium itself. Therefore, XTT, WST and MTS reagents can be used to assay viability of cells, which do not require a surface to attach.
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.
