Matrigel plug angiogenesis assay
Matrigel plug angiogenesis assay is a laboratory technique used to study the process of angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels. It involves the use of a gelatinous protein mixture, Matrigel, which provides a three-dimensional matrix for the study of cell behavior, including the migration and differentiation of endothelial cells, which are essential for the formation of new blood vessels.

Matrigel (0.5 mL) was premixed with 5 × 106 MDA-MB-231 cells and then engrafted into the right mammary fat pad of Balb/c nude mice (n = 5). A single 2 or 10 mg/kg treatment of TTAC-0001 or saline was administered to the respective groups by intravenous injection after implantation. After 10 days, Matrigel plugs were removed and frozen for immunofluorescence analysis. To measure the hemoglobin (Hb) content, excised plugs (n = 5 plugs/group) were cut into small pieces and placed in 500 uL of cold, distilled water at 4°C overnight to liquefy the Matrigel. Specimens were centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 20 mins, and the supernatant was collected. Hb content was quantified using a Hb assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich) and spectrophotometry.
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.
