Bleomycin B2
Bleomycin B2 (Phleomycin D2) is an anti-cancer agent that targets DNA. Bleomycin B2 causes DNA strand breaks, thereby inhibiting the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Bleomycin B2 is promising for research of cancers.

Protocols

Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
