Product Overview

Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells include cells isolated from small vessels within skin tissue from either adults or neonatal foreskins.  Cells are cultured to be ≥90% pure and specifically enriched for dermal LECs and BECs. Dermal microvascular cells, from either neonates or adults (HMVEC-D) are a mixed population of both blood (HMVEC-DBl) and lymphatic (HMVEC-DLy) endothelial cells.                                      

Adult cells are designated with an 'Ad'; neonate cells are designated with 'Neo'.  Both pooled and single donors are available. Additional donor characteristics may be available by contacting our Scientific Support Team. Clonetics^TM Endothelial Cells and Media are convenient and easy to use, allowing the researcher to focus on results.  Clonetics^TM Cells, Medium and Reagents are quality tested together and guaranteed to give optimum performance as a complete cell system.  

Cryopreserved cells are shipped in third passage. Cryopreserved Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells are guaranteed through 15 population doublings (CC-2543, CC-2505 & CC-2516) and 12 population doublings (CC-2810, CC-2811, CC-2812 & CC-2813) , express CD31/105, von Williebrand Factor VIII, and are positive for acetyated low density lipoprotein uptake.  All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots. A Certificate of Analysis is provided for each cell lot purchased.
