大鼠肺动脉内皮细胞，Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells

​

Product Description

Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from pulmonary artery of 6-8 week old laboratory Sprague-Dawley rat. Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics’ Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells at passage 3 are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 1x10⁶ cells per ml and is delivered frozen. The method we use to isolate primary endothelial cells was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods. These cells are pre-coated with PECAM-1 (CD31) antibody, following the application of magnetic beads pre-coated with secondary antibody.

Product Testing

Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells are tested for expression of markers using antibody, PECAM-1 Antibody (M-20, sc-1506, Santa Cruz) or ZO-1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog No. 617300, Life Technologies) by immunofluorescence staining. Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells are also tested for uptake of Dil-Ac-LDL (Catalog No. L-35353, Invitrogen), a functional marker for endothelial cells. Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-7 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.

Laboratory Applications

Rat Primary Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells can be used in assays of cell-cell adhesion, migration, vascular tube formation, transendothelial resistance (TER). Standard biochemical procedures performed with cell cultures include RT-PCR, western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, immunofluorescent flow cytometry, or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.

Storage of Cell Biologics Products

Cell Biologics ships frozen cells on dry ice. On receipt, immediately transfer frozen cells to liquid nitrogen (-180 °C) until ready for experimental use. Live cell shipment is also available on request.

Never can primary cells be kept at -20 °C.
