Description

Application

Testosterone 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oxime: BSA-FITC has been used for flow cytometric assays in serum-free cell cultures². It has also been used for fluorescence labeling experiments in L6 cells³.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Studies have reported that BSA-coupled testosterone can block the growth of LNCaP cells. Furthermore, it can activate Fas protein and cell death, as well as reduce the translocation, adhesion and incursion of iAR-negative, DU145 prostate cancer cells².
