Cell Line Origin
Artery
Application
Primary Human Umbilical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HUASMC) are isolated from the arteries of the umbilical cord and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. Physiological and biochemical processes of vascular diseases can be analyzed with HUASMC in culture.
Quality
Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of the corresponding cells. They are tested for cell viability, cell morphology, growth performance and for cell-type specific markers. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).
Warning
Although tested negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, the cells – like all products of human origin – should be handled as potentially infectious. No test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
Physical form
