Human Tumor Cell Line Profiling
Oncology drug discovery requires knowing the pharmacological mechanism, and efficacy of small molecules on human tumor cell lines. GenScript offers a comprehensive oncology drug discovery platform which includes antibody drug discovery, in vitro and in vivo pharmacology services. As part of our in vitro oncology services, the cost-efficient human tumor cell line profiling packages, OncoProfiler and XenoProfiler, provide you with a combined panel of over 240 human tumor cell lines as well as a range of high throughput screening (HTS) options. XenoProfiler is a panel of tumor cell lines that have been validated in vivo with xenograft models. Together, OncoProfiler and XenoProfiler not only provides efficacy data in human tumor cell lines, but can ensure translation of efficacy from in vitro to in vivo models.
Key Features
- High quality assay criteria and short turnaround time
- OncoProfiler includes 200 human tumor cell lines. XenoProfiler includes 40 cell lines, which have been validated in vivo with xenograft models
- High throughput screening (HTS) options available (see below)

Case study: Analysis of proliferation inhibition
Dose response IC50 of three compounds are reported in the above graph against 225 different human tumor cell lines. Luminescence-based proliferation assay was used to profile compound effect.
