Cells

Supplier: Promocell, Inc.

PromoCell hMSC-UC are harvested from normal human umbilical cord matrix (Whartons jelly). The cells are tested for their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts.

Primary Human Cardiac Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HCMEC) are isolated from heart ventricles from a single donor. The cells are routinely analyzed by immunofluorescent staining: they stain positive for CD31 and Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle alpha-actin.

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.

PromoCell Human CD14+ Monocytes are isolated from fresh peripheral blood. After isolation of the ultra-pure mononuclear cell fraction by proprietary methods, the CD14+ Monocytes are isolated by positive selection with > 95% purity.

Primary Human Osteoblasts (HOB) are isolated from femoral trabecular bone tissue from the knee or hip joint region (lot specific source information is available on request). They stain positive for alkaline phosphatase and can be mineralized using PromoCell Mineralization Medium.

Supplier: Promocell, Inc.

Primary Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells (HFDPC) are isolated from human dermis originating from the lateral scalp. Information on donor hair and skin color is available for each lot. HFDPC stain positive for alkaline phosphatase.

Supplier: Promocell, Inc.

PromoCell hMSC-BM are harvested from normal human bone marrow. The cells are tested for their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and neuronal cells.

Supplier: Promocell, Inc.

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.

Supplier: Promocell, Inc.

PromoCell Mononuclear Cells (MNC) represent the lymphocyte and monocyte fraction isolated from umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood. They are prepared by optimized low-density gradient centrifugation, which effectively reduces the granulocyte content. Red blood cells are gently but thoroughly depleted by proprietary techniques instead of osmotic lysis. This results in ultra-pure mononuclear cells with superior viability and unchanged biological function. In addition, the cells do not clump after thawing, allowing for easy handling and reproducible results.

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 Dermal Blood Endothelial Cells (HDBEC) from the same donor are available on request.) The cells are routinely analyzed by flow cytometric analysis and immunofluorescent staining: > 95% of the cells are CD31 positive  and podoplanin positive. In addition, the cells stain positive for Prox-1.

CELLvo™ Healthy Human Chondrocytes (50-70y) are primary, uncultured cells isolated from recently-diseased cadaver cartilage from donors between 50 and 70 years old. Healthy status is determined by macroscopic inspection of the tissue using a modified outerbridge (1960) scale in order to distinguish healthy joints from those with signs of osteoarthritis. Cells are isolated by enzymatic digestion prior to cryopreservation.

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