Testosterone/BSA
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Testosterone/BSA, a conjugate of Testosterone (HY-113415) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), acts as a nuclear transporter and cytoplasmic accumulator. Testosterone/BSA can enter the nuclei of rat testicular spermatocytes, spermatids and rat liver endothelial cells, while the antigenicity of BSA remains intact. Testosterone/BSA accumulates in the cytoplasm of rat hepatocytes in granular form. Testosterone/BSA can be used to investigate the membrane-initiated or non-genomic activities of steroid hormones.

Result:Detected FITC fluorescence (indicating intact BSA antigenicity) in the nuclei of spermatocytes and spermatids in some rat testicular seminiferous tubules.
Detected FITC fluorescence in the nuclei of rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells.
Observed no fluorescence in the nuclei of rat liver hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, or Kupffer cells, though granular fluorescence was seen in the cytoplasm of some hepatocytes.

Endothelial Tube Formation Assay
Endothelial tube formation assay evaluates the ability of endothelial cells to attach, migrate, align, and organize into capillary-like networks when cultured on gelled basement membrane extract or Matrigel; the readout is the morphology and quantity of tube-like networks, which reflects an in vitro endothelial morphogenesis step related to angiogenesis. Basement membrane extract/Matrigel provides laminin-rich extracellular matrix cues that support endothelial differentiation into capillary-like structures, but it can contain biologically active growth factors, so growth-factor-reduced matrix is preferred when testing defined angiogenic stimulators or inhibitors.
