CytoSelect? 96-well Cell Invasion Assay (Basement Membrane), Fluorometric

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.
