Note: Never can cells be kept at -20°C.
Immortalized Human Astrocytes (SV40T) are human astrocyte cells that have been genetically modified with the SV40 large T antigen to go beyond 30 passages. This allows them to be used continuously in research without the limitations associated with primary astrocyte cultures.
These cells are ideal for various research applications, including neurobiology, neurodegenerative disease studies, toxicity testing, neuroinflammation research, and drug discovery targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
Absolutely. These astrocytes are suitable for co-culture with other cell types, such as neurons or microglia, to simulate the complex cellular environments of the CNS and study cell-cell interactions.

Description: Microglia cells are resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord and they act as the first and the main form of active immune defense in the nervous system. The Immortalized Human Microglia - SV40 cell line is derived from Primary Human Microglia Cells (>99% purity) and have maintained microglial marker TREM2 as demonstrated by RT-PCR. These cells are suitable for studies of human microglia in health and disease.
Description: Immortalized Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells-hTERT were developed from human tissues transduced with a lentiviral expression vector containing the hTERT gene. The cell line was continuously cultured for more than 20 passages without showing signs of growth retardation or replicative senescence. The Immortalized Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells are useful for setting up in vitro bioassays for studying angiogenesis in e.g. wound healing or metastasis as well as bioassays for testing the angiogenic properties of novel drugs. Additionally, the cell line is the perfect starting material for genetic engineering to create important disease models.
