Rat Primary Pulmonary Vein Fibroblasts from Gentaur are isolated from tissue of neonatal Sprague-Dawley Rats. Rat Primary Pulmonary Vein Fibroblasts are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based solution for 0.5 hour and incubated in Gentaur's Cell Culture Medium 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 1x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Rat Primary Pulmonary Vein Fibroblasts are tested for expression of marker using the antibody of anti-FSP1/S100A4 by immunofluorescence staining and can be expanded by 2-4 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Gentaur. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.Standard biochemical procedures performed with fibroblast cultures include the assays of cell to cell interaction, PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.

Fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells which derived from the embryonic mesoderm. They have been extensively used for a wide range of cellular and molecular studies. This is mainly because they are one of easiest types of cells to grow in culture, and their durability makes them amenable to a wide variety of manipulations ranging from studies employing gene transfection to microinjection. There is good evidence that fibroblasts in different parts of the body are intrinsically different. The pulmonary arterial vesculature responds to various insults with a characteristic pattern of remodeling that includes an increase in connective tissue in the medial layer of the vessel wall. One of the pathogenetic mechanisms involved is the functional derangements of vascular fibroblasts. Their proliferative response contributes to the adventitial thickening observed during the development of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. HPAAF from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human pulmonary artery. HPAAF are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HPAAF are characterized by spindle morphology and by immunofluorescent method with antibody to fibronectin. HPAAF are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HPAAF are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.
