Description: Fetal human umbilical cord tissue lysate was prepared by homogenization using a proprietary technique. The tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision and then stored at -70°C. The fetal human umbilical cord tissue total protein is provided in a buffer including HEPES (pH7.9), MgCl2, KCl, EDTA, Sucrose, Glycerol, Sodium deoxycholate, NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors. For quality control purposes, the umbilical cord tissue pattern on SDS-PAGE gel is shown to be consistent for each lot by visualization with coomassie blue staining. The umbilical cord tissue is then Western analyzed by either GAPDH or β-actin antibody, and the expression level is consistent with each lot.

Description: The Human ; Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells is available in Europe and for worldwide shipping via Gentaur.

Description: 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 umbilical vein endothelial cells have played a major role as a model system for the study of the regulation of endothelial cell function and the role of the endothelium in the response of the blood vessel wall to stretch, shear forces, and the development of atherosclerotic plaques.Each human umbilical cord vein is individually processed to isolate endothelial cells through collagenase digestion and culture. Frozen HUVEC products are cryopreserved at the end of the primary culture. HUVEC are guaranteed to reach 15 population doublings when cultured with Gentaur's recommended medium.Samples from each donor are tested via PCR to confirm non-reactivity.

Description: Human CD34+ umbilical cord blood cells are isolated from umbilical cord blood and purified using magnetic cell separation. Human CD34+ umbilical cord blood cells are from a single donor and are 90% pure populations as confirmed by FACS analysis. These cells are regularly used to reconstitute the hematopoietic system in infants and small children with malignancies. These cells also enable researchers to produce various cell types using standard published protocols. Additionally, CD34+ umbilical cord blood cells may be used for various studies on hematopoiesis, differentiation, angiogenesis, colony formation, and surface marker expression. Presently, they are widely investigated for various therapeutic applications. Development period: Postnatal

Description: Gentaur endothelial cells from large vessels are available from different locations, e.g. umbilical vein, umbilical artery, aorta, coronary artery, pulmonary artery, and saphenous vein. In addition, Gentaur offers HUVEC isolated in standard Endothelial Cell Growth Medium and also in Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2. The cells are supplied either from single donors or from pooled donors (from up to four different umbilical cords). Furthermore, HUVEC are available which are prescreened for VEGF (vascular endothelial cell growth factor) response. Shortly after isolation, Gentaur Human Endothelial Cells from large vessels are cryopreserved at passage 1 or passage 2 (see page 5) using Gentaur's proprietary, serum-free freezing medium, Cryo-SFM. Each cryo vial contains more than 500,000 viable cells after thawing.Proliferating cell cultures are made from 500,000 cryopreserved cells that have been thawed and cultured for three days at Gentaur.

Description: Vascular smooth muscle cell is the cellular substate of most significant arterial disease. The increased growth potential of vascular smooth muscle cells represents one of the crucial anomalies responsible for the development of essential vascular diseases. New studies demonstrate that vascular smooth muscle cells express ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, which may contribute to the inflammatory reaction in the vascular wall and may actively be involved in the progression and stability of vascular disease. In vitro culture of human VSMC as a model of vascular research played a critical role and continues providing information in the pharmacology and the therapy of vascular diseases.HUVSMC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human umbilical veins. HUVSMC are cryopreserved at the end of secondary culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HUVSMC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to ?-smooth muscle actin and desmin. HUVSMC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HUVSMC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Description: Smooth muscle tissue is found in the tunica media layer of large and small blood vessels and in the walls of hollow organs like the bladder and the uterus. Smooth Muscle Cells (SMC) possess all the same types of filaments, but, depending on the tissue of origin, differ significantly in mechanical and physiological properties. Therefore, Gentaur offers a range of Human Smooth Muscle Cells produced at Gentaur's cell culture facility from normal human tissue of different origins. The cells are isolated from the aorta, the coronary artery, the pulmonary artery, the umbilical artery,the trachea, the bronchi, the bladder,the prostate, and the uterus. Shortly after isolation, all Gentaur Human Smooth Muscle Cells are cryopreserved at passage 2 (P2) using Gentaur's proprietary, serum-free freezing medium, Cryo-SFM.
