Primary Human Renal Epithelial Cells (HREpC) are isolated from the adult kidney and stain positive for cytokeratin.

Supplier: Promocell

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

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Human Pulmonary Fibroblasts (HPF) are isolated from human lung tissue

Supplier: StemBioSys

CELLvo ™ Human Cord Blood Endothelial Progenitor Cells have superior colony forming ability, greater vessel formation, and greater angiogenic potential compared to more common endothelial-type cells (HUVECs), CELLvo™ hCB-EPCs are the endothelial cell of choice for researchers.

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC) are isolated from human coronary arteries and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. Coronary arteries supply the heart with blood and obstruction in atherosclerosis causes myocardial infarction.

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDF) are isolated form the dermis of juvenile foreskin or adult skin from different locations like the face, the breasts, the abdomen, and the thighs.

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Human Umbilical Artery Endothelial Cells (HUAEC) are isolated from the arteries of the umbilical cord and are often used for in vitro studies on atherosclerosis but also for endothelial cell-dependent lymphocyte activation and chemoattractant activity experiments

Supplier: StemBioSys

CELLvo™ Ostoeoarthritic Human Chondrocytes (50-70y) are primary, uncultured cells isolated from recently-diseased cadaver cartilage from donors between 50 and 70 years old. Osteoarthritis status is determined by macroscopic inspection using a modified Outerbridge (1960) scale. Cells are isolated by enzymatic digestion prior to cryopreservation.

Primary Human Cardiac Fibroblasts (HCF) are isolated from the ventricles of an adult heart

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAoEC) are isolated from the human ascending (thoracic) and descending (abdominal) aorta

Supplier: Promocell

Primary Human Skeletal Muscle Cells (SkMC) are isolated from different skeletal muscles (e.g. Musculus pectoralis major) from adult single donors (lot specific source information is available on request). They are positive for sarcomeric myosin and negative for smooth muscle specific α-actin. New skeletal muscle cells originate from quiescent satellite cells, which are located in the muscle fibers between the basal lamina and the sarcolemma. Quiescent satellite cells are activated by stimuli such as muscle damage. After activation, the cells, now called myoblasts, start to proliferate and fuse with damaged muscle fibers or with one another forming new myotubes.

Primary Human Dermal Blood Endothelial Cells (HDBEC) are a subpopulation of the Human Dermal Endothelial Cells. They are isolated from the dermis of juvenile foreskin and adult skin (different locations) from a single donor. (Human Dermal Lymphatic Endothelial Cells (HDLEC) from the same donor are available on request.) The cells are routinely analyzed by flow cytometric analysis and immunofluorescent staining: they are > 95% CD31 positive and stain positive for von Willebrand factor. In addition, they are > 90% negative for podoplanin and stain negative for smooth muscle specific alpha-actin.

Primary Normal Human Epidermal Melanocytes (NHEM) are isolated from the epidermis of juvenile foreskin or adult skin from different locations including the face, the breasts, the abdomen, and the thighs. They are located in the stratum basale, but branch out between the keratinocytes in suprabasal layers. About 5-10 % of the cells in the epidermis are melanocytes. The main purpose of melanocytes is the production of melanin, the protein responsible for the pigmentation of the skin, eyes, and hair. Melanin protects the cells in the skin and in deeper layers from the hazardous effects of UV radiation.

Primary Human Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (HAoSMC) are isolated from plaque-free regions of the human aorta and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. The pulsatile pressure produced by the heart causes a cyclic distention of the aorta. The smooth muscle cells in the aortic wall subsequently contract it again. Changes in the arterial wall, associated with vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, strongly influence this process.
