Description

Immortalized Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (IM-HBMEC) are developed by immortalizing primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) using the SV40 Large T antigen. These cells maintain the immune barrier properties of primary HBMECs. IM-HBMEC cells exhibit a polygonal, cobblestone-like morphology and grow as adherent monolayers. They can undergo serveal passages without senescence, unlike primary HBMECs, which undergo early senescence after the 3rd passage. The IM-HBMEC cell line is non-tumorigenic and does not exhibit metastatic behavior. It mimics primary HBMECs in assays such as leukocyte migration, cytokine production, and reactions to astrocyte coculture. Flow cytometry shows no significant differences in immune responses compared to primary HBMECs.

Application

  • Immortalized Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (IM-HBMEC) provide a cost-effective and reliable in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These cells exhibit high barrier integrity, immune cell migration, and cytokine responses, closely mimicking the human BBB endothelial phenotype. IM-HBMECs are valuable for studying CNS infections and serve as a practical alternative to primary brain endothelial cells in BBB research.
