Target Cell Name
SK-MES-1
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
SK-MES-1 is a human lung cancer cell line that displays epithelial morphology and grows as monolayers in tissue culture. These cells exhibit a cytokeratin expression pattern typical of simple epithelia (i.e., CK7, CK8, CK18, and CK19), and similar to that found in adenocarcinomas.

Assay Name
In Vitro EdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) can easily be com bined with DNA during replication. Unlike the BrdU assay, the EdU assay is rapid, sensitive and does not require previous denaturation of the specimen.
Assay Alternative Names
5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) 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.
