Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
The T24 cell line was established from a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder in a female patient in 1973. Reports in the literature indicated a wide range of tumorigenicity for T24 when injected subcutaneously in immunocompromised murine hosts.

Short Description
T24-cell based In Vitro Micro-carrier Beads Assay (Angiogenesis)
Assay Description
Migration of cells from cell-coated micro-carrier beads to the surface of cell culture wells or dishes is measured in this assay. Cells are grown on the surface of carrieer beads and beads are then placed in a plate well or dish over particular incubation periods.
Assay Type
Angiogenesis Monitoring Assays
Assay Type Details
Local and regional metastasis is a life-threatening condition in cancer, which is hard to control with the available cancer treatment options. In metastasis, cancer cells move away from primary tumors and travel through the blood and lymphatic system and form new tumors on other parts. A vascular network growth is important for cancer metastasis. Angiogenesis is a process that is known as the formation of new blood vessels with the help of existing blood vessels and angiogenesis has been reported to play a major role in cancer growth and metastasis. Tumors can send chemical signals to nearby normal tissues to stimulate angiogenesis. New blood vessels can feed growing tumors with nutrients and oxygen, allowing cancer cells to spread (metastasis).
