HUVECs were infected with Lentiviral particles expressing GFP-Tagged neuromodulin @ passage 1. Puromycin resistant PM-GFP-HUVECs were selected and shipped in frozen vials (cells are provided @ passage 3). Endothelial Growth Medium is recommended for cell culture and these cells have a minimum of 18 population doubling levels when cultured following the protocols described below).
Human umbilical vein smooth muscle cells (HUVSMC) are derived from the umbilical vein. They are cryopreserved at second passage. HUVSMC can be cultured and propagated 6 population doublings.
