ABSTRACT:
Fluorophore-labeled collagen covalently bound to a cell culture vessel can be used to assay collagen degradation by a variety of cell types, including osteoclasts and tumor cells. Such assays provide a high throughput platform for rapid screening of large numbers of potential modulators of, for example, tumor metastasis or osteoclast differentiation and/or function.
