Application
Primary Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMEC) are isolated from the lung from a single donor and are provided in a cryopreserved format. Since lung tissue contains blood and lymphatic capillaries, HPMEC comprise Blood and Lymphatic Microvascular Endothelial Cells. The cells are routinely analyzed by immunofluorescent staining: they stain positive for CD31 and von Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle alpha-actin.The lung has a vast endothelial surface area, which is essential for the exchange of gases. HPMEC are most appropriate for studying human lung diseases.

Analysis Note
Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of Microvascular Endothelial Cells. They are tested for cell morphology and cell type specific markers, e.g. von Willebrand Factor (vWF), CD31 and Podoplanin using flow cytometric analyses. Growth performance is tested through multiple passages up to 15 population doublings (PD) without antibiotics or antimycotics. In addition, all cells have been tested forthe absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).
Other Notes
Recommended Plating Density: 10000 - 20000 cells per cm2Passage After Thawing: P2Tested Markers: von Willebrand Factor (vWF) positive, CD31 positive, Dil-Ac-LDL uptake positiveGuaranteed population doublings: >15
