U-87 MG Cell Lysate

- Overview
  - U-87 MG cells derived from malignant gliomas. This cells are used as an vitro model of human glioblastoma cells to investigate the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic drugs towards cancer cells. The lysate is a good positive control for prostate apoptosis response-4 which is upregulated in prostate tumor cells undergoing apoptosis. It is also a good positive control for Alpha-1-ACT, a serine protease inhibitor tightly associated with amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease and in normal aged human and monkey brain.
