Corning™ BioCoat™ Matrigel™ Matrix Thin Layer Culture Dishes

Description

Tested for the ability to promote neurite outgrowth from chick dorsal root ganglia (in the absence of NGF)

Corning Matrigel basement membrane matrix is a solubilized basement membrane preparation extracted from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma, a tumor rich in ECM proteins. Its major component is laminin, followed by collagen IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, entactin, and nidogen. Corning Matrigel matrix is effective for the attachment and differentiation of both normal and transformed anchorage-dependent epithelial and other cell types including neurons and oligodendrocytes.

Applications include:

• Elicitation of tissue-specific cellular morphology and protein production in epithelial cells
• Differentiation of endothelial, muscle, and neuronal cells
• Development of three-dimensional matrix model systems

Source

• EHS mouse tumor
