Corning™ BioCoat™ Laminin Multiwell Plate

Description

Promotion of cell attachment and spreading

Laminin (LM), a major component of basement membranes, is a multifunctional glycoprotein that is used as a substrate to culture and maintain differentiated function of a wide variety of cells. Laminin has been shown in culture to stimulate neurite outgrowth, promote cell attachment, chemotaxis, cell differentiation, and neuronal survival.

Applications include:

• Promotion of cell attachment and spreading
• Induction of cell differentiation and neurite outgrowth
• Increases proliferation of myoblasts
• Studies of effects of laminin on cell behavior
• Cell adhesion assays

Source

Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse tumor
