ABSTRACT:
A method of performing in vivo angiogenesis assays which involves the use of a matrix material which can be maintained in an injectable solution form at a temperature below that of a host and which forms a gel matrix when injected into a host. The matrix material is an extract of murine basement membrane. Angiogenic factors, including inducers and inhibitors can be added to the matrix material prior to injection into a host. After a period of time within the host, the gel matrix is recovered and angiogenesis of the recovered matrix gel is quantitated. The procedure can be used to induce vascularization or inhibit vascularization at a tissue situs as desired.
