Multiplex Profiling of Cellular Invasion in 3D Cell Culture Models. [PDF]
To-date, most invasion or migration assays use a modified Boyden chamber-like design to assess migration as single-cell or scratch assays on coated or uncoated planar plastic surfaces.

Diagnostic assays for leprosy based on T-cell epitopes. [PDF]
To date, only a limited number of antigens have been described as specific for Mycobacterium leprae, and in many cases, homologues have subsequently been shown to exist in mycobacteria such as M. avium and M. intracellulare.
