Target enzyme / Phenotype-based screen

Anti-cancer drug in in vitro efficacy test automatization/optimization

Service example

  • Screening of apoptosis inducing drugs based on high-throughput screening

Exam Overview

- Using image analysis screening, images of caspase-3 activation were analyzed to determine the ability of the developed drug to induce cancer cell death.

Test contents

- Automatic seeding of test cells

- Material handling and washing/cell fixing

- Stain with cleaved caspase-3 antibody and image with HCS equipment

Result

- Cleavage of caspase-3 occurs due to the activity of the candidate anticancer substance, which is interpreted as cell death.

- It was confirmed that the substance had an excellent ability to induce apoptosis compared to the DMSO control and that death occurred more easily in Huh7 cells.
