Cell Proliferation Assays

Cell proliferation assays are useful tools to quantitatively and quickly evaluate on cell population's response to a test article by showing an increase in cell growth(proliferation), no proliferation effect, or a decrease in proliferation due to necrosis or apoptosis.

Keratinocyte Proliferation (turnover) Assay

  • Using primary human cell (keratinocytes, fibroblasts) or mouse cell (keratinocytes) lines in serum-free or low serum media
  • Rate of proliferation or apoptosis is measured by vital dye uptake (MTT or neutral red) or by BrdU incorporation and flow cytometry


MB Research Labs conducts Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliant toxicology assays as well as low-cost screening studies for clients in the cosmetic, consumer product, chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
