General description

Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) provide a classic model system to study many aspects of endothelial function and disease, such as normal, abnormal and tumor-associated angiogenesis, oxidative stress, hypoxia and inflammation related pathways in endothelia under normal and pathological conditions, cardiovascular-related complications associated with various diseases, mode of action and cardiovascular protection effects of various compounds, etc.

Primary culture, >500,000 cells in Endothelial Cell Basal Medium containing 10% FBS & 10% DMSO Can be cultured at least 16 doublings

Subculture Routine

Please refer to the HUVEC Culture Protocol.
