Suggested Medium:  Smooth Muscle Cell Medium /w Kit –500 ML

Catalog No.  M2268

Product Description

Human Prostate Tumor-Associated Smooth Muscle Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from human prostate tumor tissue. Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Prior to shipping, cells at passage 1 are detached from the culture flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x10⁶ cells per ml and is delivered frozen. Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to α-smooth muscle actin. Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments (or cells may be expanded for 2-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2) under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.

Laboratory Applications

Human Prostate Tumor-Associated Smooth Muscle Cells can be used in assays of standard biochemical procedures performed with cell cultures include RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent flow cytometry, or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
