Principle of the assay: The CytoSelect Cell Migration Assay Kit contains polycarbonate membrane inserts (12 mum pore size) in a 24-well plate. The membrane serves as a barrier to discriminate migratory cells from non-migratory cells. Migratory cells are able to extend protrusions towards chemoattractants (via actin cytoskeleton reorganization) and ultimately pass through the pores of the polycarbonate membrane. Finally, the cells are removed from the top of the membrane and the migratory cells are stained and quantified.
Background: Cell migration is a highly integrated, multistep process that orchestrates embryonic morphogenesis, tissue repair and regeneration. It plays a pivotal role in the disease progression of cancer, mental retardation, atherosclerosis, and arthritis. The initial response of a cell to a migration-promoting agent is to polarize and extend protrusions in the direction of the attractant; these protrusions can consist of large, broad lamellipodia or spike-like filopodia. In either case, these protrusions are driven by actin polymerization and can be stabilized by extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion or cell-cell interactions (via transmembrane receptors). CytoSelect Cell Migration Assay Kit utilizes polycarbonate membrane inserts (12 mum pore size) to assay the migratory properties of cells. The kit contains sufficient reagents for the evaluation of 12 samples. The 12 mum pore size is optimal for studying slow moving cells or cells with large size such as primary astrocytes.
