Primary Human Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HPASMC) are isolated from human pulmonary arteries and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin

• Smooth muscle alpha-actin positive
• CD90 negative
• Routinely morphology tested
• Cryopreserved at second passage

This product can be used in the following applications. Organ specific drug testing, Cell-extracellular matrix interaction studies, Physiological and biochemical studies, Oncology, Pathological studies (e.g. hypertension).

They are suited for studying the function of pulmonary arteries under normal and disease conditions (e.g. vasoconstriction induced by alveolar hypoxia). They are also useful for physiological studies of vascular smooth muscle cells.
