Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)
Quick Actions
Product Overview
Description
HUVEC cells are primary endothelial cells isolated from human umbilical vein endothelium and cryopreserved at an early passage to preserve endothelial morphology and functional responsiveness. HUVECs are widely used to model vascular endothelium in angiogenesis, inflammation, permeability, thrombosis, cell-adhesion, wound-healing, vascular toxicity, and drug-discovery studies.
The cells are supplied as a cryopreserved P1 vial containing a nominal 500,000 cells and are intended for rapid recovery in an endothelial growth medium under standard humidified cell-culture conditions.
Key Features:
• Early-passage primary human endothelial cells (P1).
• Nominal 500,000 cells per cryopreserved vial.
• Validated endothelial identity framework based on morphology, marker expression, and functional behavior.
• Expected expression of canonical endothelial proteins including CD31/PECAM-1, VE-cadherin/CD144, vWF, VEGFR2/KDR, CD105/ENG, eNOS/NOS3, ERG, CD146/MCAM, TIE2/TEK, ZO-1/TJP1, and Claudin-5/CLDN5; activation markers such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and E-selectin are stimulus-dependent.
• Compatible with angiogenesis, tube-formation, uptake, migration, barrier, inflammatory-response, gene-expression, imaging, and compound-screening workflows.
• Provided for research use only with a defined master QC release specification.
IMPORTANT: Quality warranty requires use of NeoBioPharma media. Biohazardous material despite negative pathogen testing. Quality claims must be reported within 1 month.
