Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)

iXCells Biotechnologies provides high quality Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC), which are isolated from human umbilical vein of mix donors, and cryopreserved at P2, with >0.5 million cells in each vial. HUVEC have “cobblestone” morphology and positive staining with vWF/Factor VIII and CD31. HUVEC are one of the mostly used cell types to study endothelial function in vitro, including angiogenesis ^[1], signaling pathway under normal and pathological condition such as oxidative stress, hypoxia ^[2] and inflammation etc. These HUVEC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi and can further expand in  ​Endothelial Cell Growth Medium (Cat# MD-0010) under the condition suggested by iXCells Biotechnologies.
