- Automatic direct cell count and quantification of migrated cells
- Acquire Hi-res bright field and fluorescent images of migrated cells
Perform and Quantify Transwell-Based Chemotaxis by Direct Cell Count
Suspension cells located inside the insert migrate through the porous membrane toward the chemoattractant from the bottom plate. Celigo is used to automatically count migrated cells in the bottom plate.
Imaging and Quantification of MCP-Mediated Chemotaxis Assay
Protocol
- Seed cells the transwell insert overnight
- Add regular cell media to the bottom of the wells
- At various concentrations add MCP (monocyte chemoattractant protein) to the bottom of the wells and incubate for 4 hours
- After four hours remove the transwell insert and image the migrated THP-1 cells
