Application: Primary Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC) are isolated from human coronary arteries and are provided in a cryopreserved format. HCASMC stain positive for smooth muscle alpha-actin. Coronary arteries supply the heart with blood and obstruction in atherosclerosis causes myocardial infarction.HCASMC are qualified to study the function of smooth muscle cells in the development of atherosclerotic plaques or in other diseases like hypertension. They are also useful for stent-graft compatibility testing.
Other Notes: Recommended Plating Density: 7500 - 10000 cells per cm2Passage After Thawing: P2Tested Markers: Smooth muscle alpha-actin positiveGuaranteed population doublings: >15
