Human Internal Thoracic Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HITASMC)

Product Description

iXCells Biotechnologies provides high quality Human Internal Thoracic Smooth Muscle Cells (HITASMC), which are isolated from normal internal thoracic arteries (formerly called internal mammary arteries) and cryopreserved at P1, with >0.5 million cells in each vial. HITASM express α-smooth muscle actin and desmin and are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fung. HITASM can further expand for 10 population doublings in Smooth Muscle Cell Growth Medium (Cat # MD-0034) under the condition suggested by iXCells Biotechnologies.
