Cell Line Origin

Placenta

Application

Human Pericytes are isolated from human placenta tissue and provided in a cryopreserved format. Pericytes are multipotent mesenchymal-like cells found in association with small blood vessel walls. They are important for angiogenesis, the structural integrity of the microvasculature, and blood flow regulation. However, they can also develop into malignant tumors called hemangiopericytomas. To date, pericytes have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and phagocytes (macrophages).

Quality

Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of Pericytes. The cells are tested for morphology, adherence rate, and viability. Furthermore, they are characterized by flow cytometric analysis for a comprehensive panel ofmarkers, e.g. CD31, CD34, CD105, and CD146. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).

Warning

Although tested negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, the cells – like all products of human origin – should be handled as potentially infectious. No test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
