Human Ocular Choroid Fibroblasts -1 vial

Species : Human Description: Fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells derived from the embryonic mesoderm They are one of the easiest types of cells to grow in culture and their durability makes them amenable to a wide variety of manipulations ranging from studies employing gene transfection to microinjection Fibroblasts secrete a non-rigid extracellular matrix that is rich in type I and/or type III collagen During wound healing, fibroblasts switch from a migrator, repopulation phenotype to a contractile, matrix-reassembling phenotype Choroid fibroblasts are exposed to a dynamic environment that influences cellular VEGF expression, which plays a significant role in angiogenesis and macular degenerationHOCF from AcceGen Research Laboratories are isolated from human ocular choroid tissue HOCF are cryopreserved at primary culture Each vial contains >5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume HOCF are characterized by their spindle morphology and immunofluorescent method with antibody to fibronectin HOCF are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi HOCF are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by AcceGen Research Laboratoriesand directly supplied to your lab by Gentaur's warehouse.
