NCI-H508

Human

NCI-H508 [H508] is a cell line derived from metastasis to the abdominal wall obtained from a patient after treatment with 5-fluorouracil. NCI-H508 [H508] is from the cecum of a White, 55-year-old, male patient with colorectal adenocarcinoma. This cell line was deposited by AF Gazdar.

In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)

NCI-H508-cell based In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)

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

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.
