Primary Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMEC) are isolated from the lung from a single donor. 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

This product can be used in the following applications. Angiogenesis research, Oncology, Drug uptake studies, Cell-cell junction investigation, Inflammation studies.

HPMEC are most appropriate for studying human lung diseases.
