SHP-77 In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)

This assay is to provide SHP-77-based In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

SHP-77

Human

SHP-77 epithelial cells are derived from a non-encapsulated primary lung tumor from the apical portion of the upper lobe of the left lung of a 54-year-old, White male in 1977. SHP-77 cells can serve as an in vitro target in 51Cr and 111 in release cytotoxicity assays as well as in vivo nude mice assays for evaluating immune reactivity of cells and serum from lung cancer patients. The cells can be used to evaluate the immune status of patients with SCLC who are treated with radiation or chemotherapy.

In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)

Mitotic index assay is one of the old assays used to determine the number of cells that are undergoing mitosis in a specified cell population using monoclonal antibodies specific for phosphorylated histone H3 (ser28). Phosphorylated histone H3 (ser28) is considered as a main marker for mitosis and this specific phosphorylation can be utilized to calculate the mitotic index in a specified cell population.

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.
