Cell migration is a fundamental function of normal cellular processes, including embryonic development, angiogenesis, wound healing, immune response, and inflammation. 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 mum can migrate through 3 to 10 mum pore.
