Cell Migration and Invasion Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 1 × 105 cells were seeded onto a fibronectin-coated polycarbonate membrane insert in a transwell apparatus manufactured by Corning (NY, USA), with a pore size of 0.8 mm. In the lower chamber of the transwell, 600 μl of RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology was added as a chemoattractant. Following a 12-hour incubation, the insert was carefully washed with PBS to remove any non-adherent cells from the upper surface. Next, the GC cells that migrated through the membrane and attached to the lower surface of the insert were fixed using 4% formaldehyde. To visualize and quantify the migrated cells, the fixed cells were stained with a 0.2% crystal violet solution obtained from Shanghai Qiaoxing Trading Corporation in Shanghai, China. Cell counts were determined using ImageJ software, and photographs were captured. The Matrigel invasion assay was conducted following a procedure similar to the cell migration assay described above. However, in the Matrigel invasion assay, the transwell membrane was pre-coated with ECMatrix™, and the cells were incubated for 14 hours. Each experiment was repeated a minimum of three times.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
