Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
SNU-5 was line derived in 1987 by J. Park and associates from ascites of a patient with poorly differentiated carcinoma of the stomach. The patient had previously received chemotherapy including 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and mitomycin-C.
Derived from metastatic site, ascites

In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Short Description
SNU-5-cell based In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay is another methodological approach used to determine cell proliferation. BrdU incorporated into synthesized DNA can be determined using BrdU-specific monoclonal antibody. A secondary antibody is used to generate fluorescent sig nal on DNA synthesis.
Assay Alternative Names

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.
