Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
NCI-H446 [H446] cells were isolated in 1982 from the pleural fluid of a 61-year-old, White, male patient with small cell cancer of the lung.

Research Area
Oncology
Assay Name
In Vitro Ethidium Homodimer Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Ethidium homodimer assay is another cell viability assay, which can be used to detect dead cells. Ethidium homodimer can pene trate through the cell membrane and gives red fluorescence upon binding with DNA of dead cells.
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.
