Millipore"s3μmQCM?EndothelialCellMigrationAssay–Fibronectin,ColorimetricprovidesaquickandefficientsystemtostudytheABIlityofcompoundstoinduceorinhibitendothelialcellmigration.Thisassayalsoallowsscreeningofpharmacologicalagents,evaluationofintegrinsorotheradhesionreceptorsresponsIBLeforendothelialcellmigration,analysisofgenefunctionintransfectedcells,anddeterminationofECMproteininvolvementincellmovement.
Thisversatileassaypermitscountingofindividualmigratorycells,and,moreimportantly,allowsquantitativeanalysisbyopticaldensity(OD)usingastandardmicroplatereader.Thisconvenientassayallowslargescalescreeningandquantitativecomparisonofmultiplesamplesandincludesindividualmigrationcontrolsforeachsample. |
