Notes

Wound Healing Assay Kit (ab242285) contains 2 x 24-well plates each containing 12 proprietary treated plastic inserts. The inserts create a wound field with a defined gap of 0.9 mm for measuring the migratory and proliferation rates of cells. Migratory cells are able to extend protrusions and ultimately invade and close the wound field.

Cell proliferation and migration rates can be determined using manual fixing and microscopic imaging. A fixing solution is provided for stopping cells at specific time points. Cell stain and DAPI stain are also provided for viewing results with light and fluorescence microscopy.

    Percent Closure of MEF/STO Cells.

    STO cells were tested using ab242285. Cells were cultured 24 hours until a monolayer formed at which time the inserts were removed to begin the wound healing assay. Cells were monitored under phase contrast (not shown), DAPI labeling, and cell staining for determining percent closure (0, 50, 75, and 100%).
