Descripción

General description

ECM gel is a solubilized basement membrane matrix secreted and extracted from EHS mouse sarcoma cells that works as a complex network of proteins and other molecules that surround, support, and give structure to mammalian tissues. Lyo ECM Gel is a novel lyophilized version of the normal ECM gel product providing adjustable research concentrations, enhancing product stability and ease-of-use for many biological applications. The extracellular matrix helps cells attach to, and communicate with, nearby cells. It plays an important role in cell functioning, including growth and movement. Commonly used for: Culturing of invasive cells, induce stem cells proliferation and differentiation, formation of organoids, suitable for the development of cancer cells and xenografts.

Prevention of cancer metastasis must be a major goal of cancer therapy since metastasis is the most insidious and life-threatening aspect of cancer . 3D tumor organoid systems have been developed for cancer cell types. These complex, self-organizing structures are cultured forms of tumor cells embedded and growth supported by ECM GEL.

ECM gel contains laminin as a major component, collagen type IV, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, entactin, and other minor components. ECM gel undergoes thermally activated polymerization when brought to 20-40°C to form a reconstituted basement membrane. The process of gelation is reversible. Addition of collagen type IV to ECM gel increases polymerization, whereas, addition of collagen type I, fibronectin, or heparin, does not. PC12 cells show neurite formation within 2 days when grown on a thin layer of ECM Gel.

Every mouse colony used for the production of this product is routinely screened for several pathogens. Tested and found negative for LDEV

Preparation Note

Lyo ECM Gel is recomended to be reconstituted with 10 ml of water (#W3500) for a concentration as described in COA specifications (8-12 mg/ml). Lyo ECM Gel can be storage at room temperature for up to 4 months. The reconstituted liquid Lyo ECM Gel can be keep upto 7 days at 4^oC. During work is recomended to keep the vial in ice or in a temperature under 10 ^oC
