Human follicle dermal papilla cells
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary human follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC) are isolated from human dermis of the scalp, originating from the occipital or temple region. HFDPC stain positive for alkaline phosphatase.

Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary Human Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HDMEC) are isolated from the dermis of juvenile foreskin and adult skin (different locations). Since the dermis contains blood and lymphatic capillaries, HDMEC comprise Blood and Lymphatic Microvascular Endothelial Cells. Both have a common origin and can be identified by several markers.

Human Tracheal Smooth Muscle Cells (HTSMC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary Human Tracheal Smooth Muscle Cells (HTSMC) are isolated from the trachea from single donors and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. They connect the endings of the tracheal cartilage by a contractile bridge called the paries membranaceus and consequently regulate the airway lumen.

Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF)
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.

Human Umbilical artery endothelial cells (HUAEC)
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.

Human aortic endothelial cells
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary Human Aortic Endothelial Cells (HAoEC) are isolated from the human ascending (thoracic) and descending (abdominal) aorta. They are useful for studying vascular diseases such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis and hypertension as well as for stent-graft compatibility testing.

Human Uterine microvascular endothelial cells (HUtMEC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary Human Uterine Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HUtMEC) are isolated from the myometrium (middle layer of the uterine wall) from a single donor who is not pre-treated with hormones. The cells are routinely analysed by immunofluorescent staining: they stain positive for CD31 and von Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle alpha-actin.

Human mononuclear cells from peripheral blood (hMNC-PB)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
PromoCell Mononuclear Cells (MNC) represent the lymphocyte and monocyte fraction isolated from umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood.

Human Uterine fibroblasts (HUF)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary human uterine fibroblasts (HUF) are isolated from the uterine wall.

Human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLEC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLEC) 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 small airway epithelial cells (HSAEpC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells (HSAEpC) are isolated from the distal portion of the human respiratory tract in the 1 mm bronchiole area. They stain positive for cytokeratin.

Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) are isolated from normal human nasal mucosa and stain positive for cytokeratin. The epithelium in the nasal cavity cleans, humidifies, and warms inhaled air. In addition, it produces mucus, which binds particles that are subsequently transported to the pharynx by cilia on the epithelial cells. HNEpC are useful for in vitro studies of these processes.

Human pericytes from placenta (hPC-PL)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Pericytes are multipotent mesenchymal-like cells found in association with small blood vessel walls and are important for angiogenesis, the structural integrity of the microvasculature and blood flow regulation. However, they can also develop into malignant tumours called hemangiopericytomas.

Human Umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) are isolated from the vein of the umbilical cord and are commonly used for physiological and pharmacological investigations, such as macromolecule transport, blood coagulation, angiogenesis, and fibrinolysis.

Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMC)
Supplier: PROMOCELL
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.
