Introduction
Cell migration is a fundamental function of normal cellular processes, including embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, immune response, and inflammation (1, 2).
Cell migration may be evaluated using several different methods; the most widely accepted being the Boyden Chamber assay. The Boyden Chamber system uses a two-chamber plate model in which a porous membrane provides an interface between two chambers. Cells are seeded in the upper chamber and chemoattractants placed in the lower chamber. Cells in the upper chamber migrate toward the chemoattractants by passing through the porous membrane to the lower chamber. Migratory cells are stained and quantified. Most cells are sized from 30 to 50 µm can migrate through 3 to 10 µm pore.
Materials Required but Not Delivered1. Precision pipettes, sufficient for aliquoting appropriate volume of cells and reagents.
2. Harvesting buffer: EDTA or trypsin-based cell detachment buffer, or other cell detachment formulations as optimized by individual investigators. Millipore’s ready-to-use non-mammalian detachment solution, Accutase (Cat. No. SCR005) is recommended.
Note: Trypsin-based cell detachment buffer may be required for strongly adherent cell lines, but can strip cell surface proteins. Allow sufficient time for cell receptor recovery.

3. Tissue culture growth medium appropriate for subject cells.
4. Quenching Buffer: Serum-free medium such as DMEM or RPMI-1640, containing 5% BSA
Note: Quenching Buffer must contain sufficient divalent cations (Mg 2+ or Ca 2+) to quench any EDTA present in the Harvesting Buffer.

5. Chemoattractants (eg. 10% FBS) or pharmacological agents for addition to culture medium, if screening is desired.
6. Sterile PBS (Cat. No. BSS-1005-B) or HBSS to wash cells.
7. Distilled water.
8. Low speed centrifuge and tubes for cell harvesting.
9. CO2 incubator appropriate for subject cells.
10. Hemocytometer or other means of counting cells.
11. Trypan blue or equivalent viability stain.
12. Spectrophotometer (microplate reader with 540-570 nm detection capability).
13. Sterile cell culture hood.
14. (Optional) Graduated ocular (calibrated), or automated method for counting stained cells on a membrane.

Applications
ApplicationThis QCM Laminin Migration Assay incorporates a 5 um porous membrane, 24-well plate Boyden chamber & mouse laminin, a major extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in basement membrane, to examine cell migration dependent upon the presence of laminin.
Application NotesThe Millipore QCM Laminin Migration Assay incorporates a 5 µm porous membrane Boyden chamber and mouse laminin, a major extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in basement membrane, to examine cell migration dependent upon the presence of laminin. The laminin is isolated from mouse sarcoma and it is enriched with mouse laminin 1 (laminin-111). This ECM promotes cell adhesion, proliferation as well as migration in many cell types such as embryonic stem cells, neural cells, liver cells and cancer cells. Cells interact with laminin through integrins α1β1, α2β2, α3β1, α6β1, α7β1, and α6β4. The assay is designed specifically to examine the migration of a subset of fibroblasts, cancer cells and neural cells.
Laminin protein is coated on the bottom of each chamber’s porous membrane as the driver for cell migration. A similarly BSA-coated control chamber(s) provides an appropriate migration control. Cells that migrate toward laminin are stained using crystal violet, a nucleic dye, extracted from the membrane surface, and quantified on a microplate reader using spectrophotometry.

Each kit provides sufficient materials for the evaluation of 24 samples.
