Assay Name
In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
Jurkat-Clone E6-1-cell based In Vitro LDH Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay (LDH assay) can also be used to determine viability of cancer cells. Upon treatment with a testing drug, if the drug can rupture the cell membrane, cells release LDH to the culture medium and released LDH can be quantified.
Assay Alternative Names
Lactate Dehydrogenase Leakage Assay
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.
