Normal Human Aortic Endothelial Cells 人體主動脈內皮細胞

Lifeline® normal Human Aortic Endothelial Cells, when grown in Lifeline® VascuLife® Medium, provide an ideal low-serum culture model — with or without human VEGF — for the accurate testing of compounds for the study of atherosclerosis or vascular biology.

• Lifeline® Human Aortic Endothelial Cells are isolated in VascuLife EnGS Medium to ensure that they remain unexposed to recombinant human VEGF.
• Aortic Endothelial Cells may be cultured with or without VEGF.
• Our Aortic Endothelial Cells can be grown in low serum (2%) medium without phenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in VascuLife® medium.

Lifeline® aortic cells are isolated from human aorta.  The cells have been isolated, plated and expanded in culture vessels twice before being harvested for cryopreservation to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency.

• Our human aortic epithelial cells are quality tested in VascuLife® EnGS 2% serum medium and demonstrate optimal reduced-serum growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than other serum-supplemented media.

Lifeline®  aortic cells are not exposed to antimicrobials or phenol red when cultured in VascuLife® medium, an advantage since these supplements can cause cell stress and “masking effects” that may negatively impact experimental results.
