Takara, Y50053, MiraCell™ EC Culture Medium

The MiraCell Endothelial Cells (from ChiPSC12) Kit contains highly pure (>95% CD31-positive) vascular endothelial cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells, purified without using antibiotic or metabolic selection. In addition to expression of vascular endothelial markers such as CD31, Tie2, vWF (von Willebrand factor), and CD144 (VE cadherin), vascular endothelial cell functions such as Dil-Ac-LDL uptake activity and endothelial tube formation ability are stably maintained between different manufacturing lots. Therefore, these cells can be used for characterization and functional analysis of endothelial cells, toxicity testing in drug discovery, and regenerative medicine research. This kit contains one vial of endothelial cells (>1.5 x 106viable cells) and growth medium components. The components for culturing the cells are also available separately as Cat. # Y50053.
