Related Product Information for CytoSelect 24-well Laminin assay kit
Principle of the assay: The CytoSelect Laminin Cell Invasion Assay Kit contains polycarbonate membrane inserts (8 mum pore size) in a 24-well plate. The upper surface of the insert membrane is coated with a uniform layer of dried Murine Laminin I matrix. This laminin matrix layer serves as a barrier to discriminate invasive cells from non-invasive cells. Invasive cells are able to degrade the laminin matrix layer, and ultimately pass through the pores of the polycarbonate membrane. Finally, these invaded cells are then dissociated from the membrane and subsequently detected by the patented CyQuant GR Dye (Invitrogen).
Background: The ability of malignant tumor cells to invade normal surrounding tissue contributes in large part to the significant morbidity and mortality of cancers. Invasiveness requires several distinct cellular functions including adhesion, motility, detachment, and extracellular matrix proteolysis. Metastatic cells produce many proteolytic enzymes (e.g. lysosomal hydrolysates, collagenases, plasminogen activators) while the expression of certain cell surface protease receptors is also increased. CytoSelect Laminin Cell Invasion Assay Kit utilizes Murine Laminin I-coated inserts to assay the invasive properties of tumor cells. It contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 12 samples.

Product Notes
The CytoSelect 24-well Laminin (Catalog #AAA169087) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CytoSelect 24-well Laminin, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
