HRMECs were initiated by elutriation from dissociated normal human retinal tissue. Passage 1 cells are shipped frozen. ENDO-Growth medium is recommended for culture. Cells have an average additional population doubling levels >15 when cultured.

Characterization of the cells
  • Cytoplasmic VWF / Factor VIII: >95% positive by immunofluorescence
  • Cytoplasmic uptake of Di-I-Ac-LDL: >95% positive by immunofluorescence
  • Cytoplasmic PECAM1 >95% positive by immunofluorescence
HRMECs are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, and mycoplasma.
 
Cells are prepared and manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified environment and ISO 5 cleanroom.

HREMCs

Effect of HG (high glucose) and pro-inflammatory cytokines on connexin43 expression in HRMECs. Immunohistochemical data showing connexin43 expression in (A) normal medium; (B) HG (25 mM); (C) pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α 10 ng/mL each); and (D) a combination of HG and pro-inflammatory cytokines inducing a change in cell morphology with signs of cell swelling, possibly owing to hemichannel opening (indicated by white arrows). https://doi.org/10.1080/02713683.2017.1410180
