BKS DB Mouse Thymus Endothelial Cells

BKS db Mouse Thymus Endothelial Cells are isolated from the thymus of Mice homozygous for the diabetes spontaneous mutation (Lepr/db) manifest morbid obesity, chronic hyperglycemia, pancreatic beta cell atrophy and become hypoRIemic. BKS db Mouse Thymus Endothelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based solution for 2 min and incubated in AcceGen’s Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells at passage 3 are detached from flasks and immediately cryopreserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 0.5×106 cells per ml. The method we use to isolate primary endothelial cells was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods. These cells are pre-coated with PECAM-1 antibody, following the application of magnetic beads pre-coated with secondary antibody.
