EZCellTM Cell Invasion Assay Kit (Fibronectin), 96-well, 8 µmis available at Gentaur for Next week Delivery.

Highly Sensitive and Quantitative (Fluorometric) Assay to measure Cell Invasion using a Boyden Chamber.

Description:

Cell invasion is the ability of cells to migrate from one area to another through an extracellular matrix. Cell invasion is exhibited by both normal cells as well as cancerous cells in response to specific external signals, including chemical and mechanical stimuli. During invasion, the extracellular matrix is enzymatically degraded by cellular proteases before cells migrate to the new location. Cell invasion is required for normal processes such as wound repair, vasculature formation and the inflammatory response, as well as the abnormal invasion of tissues by tumor cells during metastasis. BioVision’s Cell Invasion Assay Kit utilizes a Boyden chamber coated with Fibronectin, a high-molecular weight extracellular matrix protein. The cells invade the fibronectin matrix and then migrate through a semipermeable membrane in the Boyden chamber in response to stimulants or inhibitory compounds. The percentage of cell invasion can be analyzed directly in a 96-well microplate reader. Our assay is easy to use, sensitive and adaptable to high-throughput systems

Applications: Measure cell invasion in response to stimuli. - Screen, study, or characterize compounds that influence cell invasion.
