GIST-T1 In Vitro ATP Assay (Cell Viability) (CAT#: ITS-1122-YF2844)

GIST-T1

Human

A new human cell line, GIST-T1, was established from a metastatic plural tumor from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the stomach in a Japanese woman, and was characterized by immunohistochemistry, conventional banding methods, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

In Vitro ATP Assay (Cell Viability)

GIST-T1-cell based In Vitro ATP Assay (Cell Viability)

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is another widely used cell viability assay. When the cancer cells undergo apoptosis or necrosis upon treatment with a compound, cellular ATP content decreases and it can be quantified by colorimetric, fluorometric or luminometric way. The latest bioluminescence assays measure cellular ATP content using the enzyme luciferase which is more sensitive and reproducible when determining cell viability compared to conventional assays.

Cell Viability/Cytotoxicity and Antiproliferative Assays

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.
