Cultrex® In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay
Tube Formation Kit


Trevigen's Cultrex® In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay Kit allows for the detection of inducers and inhibitors of endothelial cell tube formation. Cultrex® Reduced Growth Factor (RGF) Basement Membrane Extract (BME) is a soluble form of basement membrane purified from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor, which gels at room temperature to form a reconstituted protein matrix comprised mainly of laminin, collagen IV, entactin, and heparin sulfate proteoglycan. Sulforaphane [1- isothiocyanato-(4R)-methylsulfinyl)-butane], found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, is a naturally occurring cancer chemopreventive agent, and is provided as a control for inhibition of in vitro endothelial cell tube formation on Cultrex® RGF BME. Calcein AM is provided for rapid and accurate measurement of cell viability and/or cytotoxicity, and kinetic analysis of tube formation. Trevigen's Cultrex® In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay Kit provides a cost-effective method for investigation of prospective angiogenesis inhibitors in a 96 well plate format.

Features:
  • Contains RGF BME qualified for low levels of tube formation in the absence of angiogenic factors and high levels of tube formation in the presence of angiogenesis factors, using human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC)
  • Includes a tested inhibitor as a negative control
  • Contains both colorimetric and fluorometric cell staining reagents
  •
