| Description | Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells (HCPEnC) are derived from healthy human brain tissue and cryopreserved at passage one, ensuring high viability upon thawing. Each vial contains over 5 × 10⁵ cells in 1mL. These cells exhibit endothelial morphology, growing strictly as a monolayer, though senescent cells may display an enlarged, flattened shape. Immunofluorescence analysis shows expression of endothelial markers PECAM1 and VWF. They also express several tight junction proteins, including ZO1, OCLN, CLDN1, and CLDN5. HCPEnCs possess the ability to form capillary-like structures, demonstrating angiogenic capacity when cultured on Matrigel.
Why choose Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells from AcceGen? These cells are freshly isolated and cryopreserved at passage one, ensuring high viability and consistent morphology upon thawing. With strict quality control measures in place, including being mycoplasma-free, AcceGen guarantees the purity and integrity of each cell vial, making them ideal for research applications that demand reproducibility and precision. | |||

| Application | FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells are valuable tools for advancing the understanding of choroid plexus (CP) organ functions, particularly the complex interactions between endothelial and epithelial cells. Located in the brain’s ventricles, the CP is a highly vascularized structure that forms a critical interface between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the blood, linking the central nervous system (CNS) with the rest of the body. The endothelial cells within the CP contribute to modulating the blood-CSF barrier (BCSFB), which is essential for maintaining brain homeostasis. Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells serve as in vitro models for studying CP functions and the BCSFB. They are also instrumental in researching disease mechanisms, such as those involved in meningitis, and developing therapeutic approaches targeting these conditions. | |||

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells?
Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells are specialized cells lining the blood vessels within the choroid plexus, which plays a critical role in regulating the passage of molecules between the bloodstream and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), contributing to brain homeostasis and immune surveillance.
How do Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells contribute to the blood-CSF barrier?
These endothelial cells, together with tight junctions and the surrounding epithelial cells, form part of the blood-CSF barrier. This barrier tightly controls the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid, maintaining a selective permeability crucial for brain health.
What makes the permeability of Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells unique?
Unlike endothelial cells in other parts of the body, Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells possess unique transporters and low permeability, which ensures the controlled exchange of solutes while preventing harmful substances from entering the cerebrospinal fluid. This specialized permeability is essential for regulating brain fluid dynamics.
How are Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells isolated?
These cells are isolated from the vasculature of the choroid plexus in human brain tissue. Isolation involves precise dissection, followed by enzyme digestion and purification, to obtain a pure population of endothelial cells for in vitro studies.
What are the potential applications of Human Choroid Plexus Endothelial Cells in drug discovery?
These cells are used in drug discovery to screen for compounds that can cross the blood-CSF barrier or modulate its function. They provide a platform for testing drugs aimed at treating neurodegenerative diseases, neuroinflammatory disorders, and conditions affecting cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.
