BKS DB Mouse Small Intestinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells

BKS db Mouse Small Intestinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells are isolated from the small intestinal microvascular 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 Small Intestinal Microvascular 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.
