COLO 205

Human

The COLO 205 cell line is made up of epithelial cells isolated in 1975 from ascitic fluid derived from a 70-year-old, White, male with colon cancer. The cells can be used for cancer and toxicology research.

COLO 205-cell based In Vitro Real-time Monitoring of Cell Migration Assay

Real-time monitoring assays have permitted more easy and reliable ways for the detection of cancer cell invasion and migration (real-time monitoring).

Cell Migration and Invasion Assays

The movement of cancer cells and formation of tumors in neighboring tissue is a sequential cascade known as invasion-metastatic cascade, which includes cancer cell invasion through extracellular matrix (ECM), intravasation into blood and colonization at sites after they exit from blood circulation. Migration and invasion are two different processes where, cell migration involves movement of cells without passing through a barrier such as ECM, whereas cell invasion involves passing through a barrier such as ECM while destroying it.
