| Remarks |
Yorkshire breed. The thoracic aorta was removed immediately post-mortem on 10/21/91. Strips of the medial layer were removed, minced, and used as explants to initiate the culture. Cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The karyotype is 38,XX with 6% of the cells examined showing random chromosome loss. The culture tested positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and negative for the endothelial cell-specific von Willebrand factor (immunofluorescence assays). Culture medium: HF12 15U. The HF12 medium used should be endotoxin-free. For lifespan determination this cell line was cultured on gelatin-coated flasks. Culture grows slowly. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
