MIA PaCa-2 In Vitro Boyden Chamber Assay (Angiogenesis) (CAT#: ITS-1022-YF2259)

MIA PaCa-2

Human

MIA PaCa-2 is an epithelial cell line that was derived from tumor tissue of the pancreas obtained from a 65-year-old, White male. This cell line can be used in cancer research.

In Vitro Boyden Chamber Assay (Angiogenesis)

MIA PaCa-2-cell based In Vitro Boyden Chamber Assay (Angiogenesis)

The Boyden chamber assay has been used to study angiogenesis by assessing endothelial cell migration.

Angiogenesis Monitoring Assays

Local and regional metastasis is a life-threatening condition in cancer, which is hard to control with the available cancer treatment options. In metastasis, cancer cells move away from primary tumors and travel through the blood and lymphatic system and form new tumors on other parts. A vascular
network growth is important for cancer metastasis. Angiogenesis is a process that is known as the formation of new blood vessels with the help of existing blood vessels and angiogenesis has been reported to play a major role in cancer growth and metastasis. Tumors can send chemical signals to nearby normal tissues to stimulate angiogenesis. New blood vessels can feed growing tumors with nutrients and oxygen, allowing cancer cells to spread (metastasis).
