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.
