Assay Name
In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Short Description
U-251-cell based In Vitro 7-Aminoactinomycin D Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
7-Aminoactinomycin D is a fluorescent dye that can also be used to detect viable/non-viable cells (excluded by viable cells) by fluorescence microscopy and FCM.
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.
Assay Subtype
Cell Viability Assay
Assay MOA
Dye Exclusion Assays
