HCASMC分離自人類主動脈的無斑塊區(qū)域,同時平滑肌α-肌動蛋白染色呈陽性。冠狀動脈為心臟提供血液,防止動脈粥樣硬化引起的心肌梗塞。HCASMC適用于研究平滑肌細胞在動脈粥樣硬化斑塊或其他如高血壓等疾病形成過程中的功能。這些細胞也適用于動脈支架兼容性檢測。
Primary Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HCASMC) are isolated from human coronary arteries and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. Coronary arteries supply the heart with blood and obstruction in atherosclerosis causes myocardial infarction.
HCASMC are qualified to study the function of smooth muscle cells in the development of atherosclerotic plaques or in other diseases like hypertension. They are also useful for stent-graft compatibility testing.
