Target Cell Name
SNU-5
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

Assay Name
In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
SNU-5-cell based In Vitro Evans Blue Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
The dye Evans blue has also been used in cell viability assays based on its ability to cross non-viable cell membranes.
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.
