*Caution: The handling of human derived products has the potential to be biologically hazardous. All Cell strains tested negative for HIV, HBV,
and HCV DNA in diagnostic tests. Proper precautions must be taken to avoid exposure. Always wear proper protective equipment (Gloves,
safety glasses, etc.) when handling these materials. We recommend following the universal procedures for handling products of human origin
as the minimum precaution against contamination.
GENERAL INFORMATION
RFP expressing human saphenous vein endothelial cells were isolated from normal human saphenous
vein and transfected with RFP- lentiviral particles at passage 1. Zeocin resistant RFP-HSVECs is shipped in
proliferating culture or frozen vial with a confluence of > 90% (cells are providing at passage 3-5). ENDOGrowth medium (EGM-2102) containing 5% serum and growth supplement is recommended for culture.
Cells have an average population doubling level >16 when cultured. When you receive the cells, leave
the flask in 37°C C0₂ incubator for 1 hour. Then, replace the transport medium with fresh ENDO-Growth
medium. Let the cells grow for 24 hours before subculture.
CELL CHARACTERIZATION
Cytoplasmic VWF/ factor VIII >95% positive by immunofluorescence

Shipping Status Proliferating culture in T25 flask

T25 flask
*Coating T25 flasks. Add 2 ml AlphaBioCoat (AC001) into 3- T25 flasks and ensure entire interior
surface is coated with the solution. After 30 minutes, dispose of AlphaBioCoat (AC001) by
aspiration. Gently rinse and aspirate the flask with Phosphate Buffer Solution (1XPBS-001). The
flask is now ready for use (no need for overnight incubation when coated with AC001). Add
fresh media to flask, if color changes from pink to yellow, discard the media, and add fresh
media to each flask. Inspect to make sure Flask is at 90% confluence, if not remove transport
media, and add 5ml of fresh media to the flask. Place flask in 37°C incubator until cells are at
90% confluence. Change media every 2 days.
1. If flask is at 90% confluence, aspirate transport media from flask.
2. Rinse T25 flask containing cells with 5 ml 1XPBS.
3. Gently aspirate out the PBS after rinsing, and discard.
4. Add 2ml of RT trypsin/ EDTA to T25 flask containing cells (ensure entire interior surface is
covered.
5. Place T25 flask containing cells into 37°C incubator for 1 or 2 minutes (cells will normally come
off of the surface within 1 or 2 minutes).
6. Suspend the cells with 15ml of ENDO-Growth medium and transfer equally into 3 pre-coated
T25 flasks (the cells are now at a subculture ratio of 1:3.
7. There is no need to spin cells during subculture.
8. Proliferating cells culture: ENDO-Growth medium should be changed every 2 days. The cells
normally become confluent within 7 days (when split at a 1:3 ratio).
9. Use ENDO- Basal media (EBM-002) containing 0.5% FBS to induce quiescent cells (after 18-24
hours).
