In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Short Description
SKOV3-cell based In Vitro Mitotic Index Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
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.
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.
