Specifications


Description The hCMEC/D3 BBB cell line is a model of the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) function.

Blood-Brain Barrier Immortalized hCMEC/D3 Cell Line from Ace Therapeutics is derived from human temporal lobe microvessels isolated from tissue excised during surgery for control of epilepsy. These cells are a specialized cell line developed by immortalizing primary endothelial cells using the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (hTERT) and SV40 large T antigen. This brain microvascular endothelial cell line represents one such model of the human BBB that can be easily grown and is amenable to cellular and molecular studies on pathological and drug transport mechanisms with relevance to the central nervous system (CNS).
Species Human
Source Brain
Recommended Medium It is recommended to use Immortalized Human Endothelial Cells Medium Kit for culturing in vitro.
Cell Type Endothelial
Disease Normal
Quality Control Blood-Brain Barrier Immortalized hCMEC/D3 Cell Line test negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma.
Shipping and Storage Ace Therapeutics ships frozen cells using dry ice. Upon receiving the frozen cells, immediately move them into liquid nitrogen (-180 °C) for storage.

Note: Never can cells be kept at -20 °C, and repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Applications Served as an in vitro BBB model to study cellular and molecular studies on pathological and drug transport mechanisms with relevance to the central nervous system (CNS).
