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 AcceGen 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 AcceGen Research Laboratories.
