Primary Human Dermal Blood Endothelial Cells (HDBEC) are a subpopulation of the Human Dermal Endothelial Cells. They are isolated from the dermis of juvenile foreskin and adult skin (different locations) from a single donor. (Human Dermal Lymphatic Endothelial Cells (HDLEC) from the same donor are available on request.) The cells are routinely analyzed by flow cytometric analysis and immunofluorescent staining: they are > 95% CD31 positive and stain positive for von Willebrand factor. In addition, they are > 90% negative for podoplanin and stain negative for smooth muscle specific alpha-actin.

Blood Endothelial Cells have a key function in physiological processes like vessel tonus, capillary permeability, blood coagulation, fibrolysis, and angiogenesis

This product can be used in the following applications. Angiogenesis research, Oncology, Drug uptake studies, Cell-cell junction investigation, Inflammation studies.

They are also useful for disease studies of atherosclerosis, tumor genesis, and thrombosis.
