Porcine endothelial cells are an economical alternative suitable for the studies of endothelial function and endothelial metabolism, especially in co-culture of species-matched porcine arterial smooth muscle cells. These cells play critical roles in cardiac homeostasis. Changes in structure and function of endothelial cells have been linked to vascular diseases such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.
PrimaPure Porcine Endothelial Cells Growth medium is available for aorta, coronary and pulmonary arteries. All endothelial cells are characterized positive for uptake of acetylated low-density lipoprotein (LDL).They are cryopreserved at first passage (PCAEC at second passage) and can be cultured and propagated at least 16 population doublings (PCAEC at least 12 populations doublings).
