RFP-Expressing Monkey Primary Kidney Glomerular Endothelial Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from Cynomolgus Monkey Kidney Glomerular tissue and grown in gelatin pre-coated tissue culture flask with Cell Biologics Complete Growth Medium. Cells at passage 3 are harvested from flasks and cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen. RFP-Expressing Monkey Primary Kidney Glomerular Endothelial are characterized by immunofluorescence staining with antibodies of CD31 (Catalog No. ab9498, Abcam), VE-cadherin (Catalog No. sc-28644, Santa Cruz, or Catalog No. ALX-210-232-C100, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc.), or use of fluorescence-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein (DiI-Ac-LDL) uptake (Catalog No. L-35353, Invitrogen), a functional marker for endothelial cells. These cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma and can be expanded for 3-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
