BALB/c Mouse Pulmonary Vein Endothelial Cells

Description

BALB/c Mouse Pulmonary Vein Endothelial Cells are primary endothelial cells isolated from the pulmonary veins of BALB/c mice. These endothelial cells line the pulmonary veins, which return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium, and play a crucial role in vascular homeostasis, permeability, and inflammatory signaling. In vitro, the cells display a typical cobblestone morphology associated with endothelial monolayers and express key endothelial markers, including CD31 (PECAM-1), VE-cadherin, and von Willebrand Factor (vWF). They retain functional properties such as responsiveness to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), nitric oxide (NO) production, and tight junction formation. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures and is tested to ensure it is free from contamination by Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
