Human Primary Aortic Endothelial Cells can be used in assays of cell to cell adhesion, migration, vascular tube formation. Standard biochemical procedures performed with endothelial cell cultures include RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, immunofluorescent flow cytometry, or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
Disclaimer
Appropriate safety procedures should always be used with this material. Although Human Primary Aortic Endothelial Cells are isolated from normal human tissue, investigators should handle the cells that they receive from Cell Biologics with caution and treat all primary cells as potential pathogens, since no test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.

General Information
Human Primary Aortic Endothelial Cells from Cell Biologics display typical cobblestone with large dark nuclei appearance under light microscopy. Cells are tested for expression of endothelial cell marker using antibody, CD31 (Catalog No. 550389, BD; CD31/PECAM-1 PE-conjugated Antibody, Catalog No. FAB3567P, R&D) or VE-Cadherin (FITC-VE-cadherin Catalog No. 560411, BD) by immunofluorescence staining or FACS. All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots. Per request, a Certificate of Analysis will be provided for each cell lot purchased. Cells can be expanded for 3-5 passages under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended. Cell Biologics ' Cell Genotype Promise Cell Biologics has established rigorous genetic quality control and genotyping programs to ensure the normal and genetic background of our cell strains as well as our diseased cell strains with identified diseases (e.g., diabetic cells, hypertentive cells, smoke cells, etc.). Cell Biologics' cell strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. Because it is not possible to fully characterize or capture each cell strain in the cell strain data sheets, we cannot guarantee each cell strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that Cell Biologics ' cells will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a cell strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of cells (1-2 vials) to determine suitability for your particular project.
