C57BL/6 Mouse Embryonic Brain Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from brain tissue of pathogen-free laboratory mice at embryonic day 14.5-19. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Canine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from the brain of a pathogen-free laboratory beagle dog. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

C57BL/6 Mouse Astrocytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from brain tissues of pathogen-free laboratory mice. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Rat Astrocytes (RA) from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from postnatal day 2 rat brains and are cryopreserved as primary cultures. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Bovine astrocytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from the bovine brain and are cryopreserved at passage one. Bovine astrocytes are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibody specific to GFAP. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Characterization: 1. Cell Activity; – Recovery Viability ≥ 80%. 2. Cell Purity; – GFAP-positive cells ≥ 70%. – β-tubulin III- or doublecortin- (Dcx-) positive cells ≤ 10%. – GalC-positive cells ≤ 10%.

Mouse Astrocytes-midbrain from CD1 (MA-mb) are isolated from embryonic day 15 mouse midbrain. MA-mb are cryopreserved as primary cultures and delivered frozen.

Rat Brain Vascular Pericytes (RBVP) from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from adult rat brains and cryopreserved at P2. MBVP expresses Neural/glial antigen 2 (NG2) and α-smooth muscle actin. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Porcine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from healthy porcine brain tissue. Porcine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with a gelatin-based solution for 0.5 hours and incubated in Ace Therapeutics’s Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Mouse Astrocytes-cerebellar from CD1 from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from a pathogen-free mouse cerebellar and are cryopreserved as primary cultures. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
