SHP-77 In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)

This assay is to provide SHP-77-based In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability) 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 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.
