Target Cell Name
T24
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
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.

Short Description
T24-cell based In Vitro XTT Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Apart from the MTT tetrazolium, other tetrazolium compounds such as XTT (2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide) can also generate formazan upon reduction by oxidoreductase or dehydrogenase. Unlike the normal MTT assay, assays with these regents (MTS, XTT and WST) do not require formazan solubilization step as solubilization occurs in the cell medium itself. Therefore, XTT, WST and MTS reagents can be used to assay viability of cells, which do not require a surface to attach.
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.
