L1210 In Vitro Scratch Assay (Migration)

This assay is to provide L1210-based In Vitro Scratch Assay (Migration) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

L1210

Mouse

L1210 is a cell line exhibiting lymphoblast morphology that was isolated from the skin of an eight-month-old, female mouse with lymphocytic leukemia, developed after skin paintings with 0.2% methylcholanthrene in ether. This cell line was deposited by EM Jensen and can be used in immune system disorder research.

L1210-cell based In Vitro Scratch Assay (Migration)

A wound healing assay is one of the simple and common assays used to monitor cancer cell migration. In a normal wound healing assay, attached cancer cells are exposed to tested compound (s) and incubated for 1-2 hours. A scratch is then manually made using a sterile pipette tip or needle and the width of the scratch is recorded at different time intervals. The effects of a testing drug on invasiveness of cells can also be monitored using this assay. However, this assay cannot be carried out with non-adherent cells.

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 dif ferent 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.
