Target Cell Name
NCI-H596
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
The NCI-H596 cell line was derived by A.F. Gazdar and H. Oie in 1983 from a tumor mass in the chest wall of a patient with adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung. The specimen was obtained prior to therapy.

Assay Name
In Vitro SRB Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
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.
Assay Alternative Names
Sulforhodamine B Assay
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.
