Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HBMECs), derived from human brain, are one type of brain endothelial cells and the central element of the microvasculature which forms the blood-brain barrier (BBB). HBMECs limit the passage of soluble and cellular substances from the blood into the brain and shield the brain against toxins and immune cells. Brain microvascular endothelial cells can express cell adhesion molecules on their surface to regulate the extravasation of leukocytes into the brain. However, extracellular host-pathogen interactions can trigger calcium signaling in the endothelial cells, causing pathogen penetration through the BBB.
Why Choose Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from AcceGen?
AcceGen cryopreserves our Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells for over 5 x 10^5 cells/mL within passage 3, for the best viability and plating efficiency after extensive testing and optimizations. Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells express vWF/Factor VIII, CD31 (PECAM), or VE-Cadherin.
GFP-Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (GFP-HBMECs) and Immortalized Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (IM-HBMECs) are also available in AcceGen.

For research use only.
These cells are commonly used in studies of the blood-brain barrier, neuroinflammation, and drug transport across the brain endothelium.
These cells should be cultured in a specialized endothelial growth medium, under standard cell culture conditions (37°C, 5% CO2).
Functional assays for Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells include permeability assays, transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements, and migration assays. These assays are used to study the barrier properties and dynamics of these cells.
