Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells

Certificate #: ACBRI 468

Introduction

Primary Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells (ACBRI 468) are initiated from normal human peripheral lung tissue.

Cell Initiation

These cells were originated using CSC Complete Serum-Free Medium (SF-4Z0-500), are available at < 12 Cumulative Population Doublings (CPD) in vitro [Passage 3] and were cryopreserved in aliquots of ~ 1.5 X 10⁶ cells. This vial will initiate a Passage 4 cell culture in a 75cm² flask.

These cells are available in cryopreserved vials as well as in 25cm² and 75cm² proliferating cell culture flasks.

We have other individual donor lots available. Please contact us for details.

Companion Products

Each vial or flask of cells is shipped to Customer with Bac-Off^® (antibiotic) and CultureBoost (animal derived growth factors) or CultureBoost-R (human recombinant growth factors) at no additional cost.

These cells are qualified for use with: CSC Complete Serum Free Medium (SF-4Z0-500) and CSC Complete Medium which includes 10% serum (4Z0-500); CSC Attachment Factor™ (4Z0-210); CSC Passage Reagent Group™ (4Z0-800) and CSC Cell Freezing Medium (4Z0-705).

ACBRI is a nonprofit research institute providing research support to biomedical and cell biology institutions/agencies/organizations. CSC is the authorized agent for distribution of ACBRI research material. Funds collected by CSC for ACBRI products are transferred to ACBRI to cover acquisition and research support costs.

IRB acquisition requirements prohibit involvement of ACBRI research material in any profit-making enterprise, and Cell Systems Corporation does not profit from handling or delivery of ACBRI products. There are specific restrictions on the employment of ACBRI cells. ACBRI cells are for research purposes only and may not be transferred out of the direct control of the Recipient Institution/agency/organization. ACBRI cells may not be genetically altered in any way without prior written permission by ACBRI. Use of ACBRI products (as documented by placement of any order for product by an authorized representative constitutes knowledge, understanding and binding acceptance of these restrictions on behalf of the recipient organization/institution.
