T24 In Vitro TBARS Assay (Oxidative Stress)

This assay is to provide T24-based In Vitro TBARS Assay (Oxidative Stress) 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.

T24

Human

The T24 cell line was established from a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in a female patient in 1973. Reports in the literature indicated a wide range of tumorigenicity for T24 when injected subcutaneously in immunocompromised murine hosts.

In Vitro TBARS Assay (Oxidative Stress)

T24-cell based In Vitro TBARS Assay (Oxidative Stress)

The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay is one of the most common assays used to evaluate lipid peroxidation. In this assay, thiobarbituric acid reacts with malondialdehyde, which is one of the end products of lipid peroxidation (oxidative stress). Lipid peroxidation in cancer cells, plasma, urine and tissue can be assayed using the TBARS assay.

Oxidative Stress Assays

Disturbance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms is defined as the oxidative stress, or more precisely, it is an imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant state in cells. This imbalance can cause harmful effects to cells and biomolecules, which ultimately causes adverse effects in the whole organism. Oxidative imbalance can target important proteinsand lipids in cells, which can increase the risk of developing a cancer. On the other hand, increased ROS production in cancer cells by certain cancer drugs can also arrest cancer cell cycle and cause senescence and apoptosis through oxidative stress.
