• Plate inserts are precoated with ECM basement membrane
The ability of malignant tumor cells to invade normal surrounding tissue contributes in large part to the morbidity and mortality of cancers. Cell invasion requires several distinct cellular functions including adhesion, motility, detachment, and extracellular matrix proteolysis. Our CytoSelect 96-Well Cell Invasion Assays utilize precoated inserts to assay the invasive properties of tumor cells. Invasive cells can be quantified in 96-well plates on a fluorescence plate reader. Inserts are precoated on the top of the membrane with Basement Membrane, an ECM protein mix isolated from EHS tumor cells.
Introduction: 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.
MyBioSource's CytoSelect 96-well Cell Invasion Assay Kit utilizes basement membrane-coated inserts to assay the invasive properties of tumor cells. The kit does not require you to prelabel the cells with Calcein AM or remove non-invaded cells (i.e. cotton swabbing). Any invaded cells are first dissociated from the membrane, then lysed and detected with CyQuant GR Dye.
MyBioSource's CytoSelect 96-well Cell Invasion Assay Kit provides a robust system for the quantitative determination of cell invasion. The kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 96 samples.
