    CytoSelect™ Cell Transformation Assay does not involve subjective manual counting of colonies or require a 3-4 week incubation period. Instead cells are incubated only 6-8 days in a proprietary semisolid agar media before being solubilized, lysed and detected by the patented CyQuant® GR Dye in a fluorescence plate reader (see Assay Principle below). Alternatively, viable transformed cells can be easily recovered for further culturing and testing, such as in protein/DNA array analysis and cancer vaccine development. This format provides a quantitative, high-throughput method to accurately measure cell transformation, while the short incubation time makes it possible to assay cells transiently transfected with oncogenes or siRNA. The CytoSelect™ Cell Transformation Kit (Cell Recovery Compatible) provides a robust system for measuring in vitro drug sensitivity, screening oncogenes and cell transformation inhibitors, and allows for transformed cell recovery. Each Trial Size kit provides sufficient quantities to perform 24 assays in a 96-well plate, 12 assays in a 48-well plate, 6 assays in a 24-well plate, or 3 assays in a 12-well plate.

      6. Dispense 50 μL of Base Agar Matrix Layer into each well of a 96-well sterile flat-bottom microplate (samples should be assayed in triplicate). Gently tap the plate a few times to ensure the Base Agar Matrix Layer evenly covers the wells. Notes: • Work quickly with the layer to avoid gelation. Also, try to avoid adding air bubbles to the well. • To avoid fast and uneven evaporation that leads to aberrant results, we suggest not using the wells on the plate edge, or filling the edge wells with medium to reduce evaporation.

    Ergebnisberechnung
    1. Compare RFU values with the Cell Dose Curve and extrapolate the cell concentration.
    2. Calculate the Total Transformed Cell Number/Well Total Transformed Cells/Well = cells/mL x 0.050 mL/well For example: If you extrapolate your RFU value from your cell dose curve and determine you have 500,000 cells/mL in your sample. Total Transformed Cells/Well = 500,000 cells/mL x 0.050 mL/well = 25,000 cells/well

  • Hintergrund
    Neoplastic transformation occurs via a series of genetic and epigenetic alterations that yield a cell population that is capable of proliferating independently of both external and internal signals that normally restrain growth. For example, transformed cells show reduced requirements for extracellular growth promoting factors, are not restricted by cell-cell contact, and are often immortal. Anchorage-independent growth is one of the hallmarks of transformation, which is considered the most accurate and stringent in vitro assay for detecting malignant transformation of cells. Traditionally, the soft agar colony formation assay is a common method to monitor anchorage- independent growth, which measures proliferation in a semisolid culture media after 3-4 weeks by manual counting of colonies. Standard soft agar assays are usually performed in 100-mm or 60 mm dishes, where cells are allowed to grow inside a semisolid culture media for 3-4 weeks before sizable colonies appear. This method is quite cumbersome, time-consuming, and difficult when testing a large number of samples. Additionally, the manual counting of colonies is highly subjective, with varying colony sizes, it's difficult to determine meaningful results.
