Basement Membrane Matrix, 5 ml *LDEV-Free英文简述: BD Matrigel™ Basement Membrane Matrix is effective for the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage dependent epithelioid and other cell types. These include neurons, Sertoli cells, chick lens, and vascular endothelial cells, and hepatocytes. BD Matrigel will influence gene expression in adult rat hepatocytes as well as three dimensional culture in mouse and human mammary epithelial cells. It will support in vivoperipheral nerve regeneration, can be used for metabolism and toxicology studies, and is the basis for several types of tumor cell invasion assays. BD Matrigel provides the substrate necessary for the study of angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. BD Matrigel also supports in vivopropagation of human tumors in immunosupressed mice.
Quality • Mouse colonies are routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing • Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogens, including LDEV, to ensure strict control of raw materials used during the manufacturing process • Tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma • Protein concentrations are determined by Lowry method • Endotoxin units are measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay • BD Matrigel Matrix gel stability is tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C • Biological activity is determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay. Chick dorsal root ganglia are plated on a 1.0 mm layer of BD Matrigel Matrix and must generate positive neurite outgrowth response after 48 hours without addition of nerve growth factor.
