Can we use skin keratinocyte (HaCaT cell line) to assess cytotoxicity of extract using SRB method?

08 May 2019 1 745 Report

SRB assay has been used with cancer cell lines to assess anti-cancer activity of extract, but is it correct to apply this SRB assay on skin keratinocyte to assess cytotoxicity?

Muharrem Okan Cakir

Dear Nyuk,

You can use SRB assay to asses cytotoxicity of an extract on HaCaT cell line.

Thanks,

Okan
