assay ready cells
Standardization of cell culture work is of ever increasing importance. Therefore, Evercyte offers services to establish assay ready cells that are frozen in formats that can directly be used for assays after thawing. Moreover, Evercyte offers services to characterize the cells for presence of cell type specific markers and functions and freedom from contaminations. Thus, reproducibility and reliability of in vitro bioassays are increased which will safe time and costs of your experiments significantly.
General information
Assay ready cells: Evercyte offers the establishment of assay ready cells either from telomerized cells (select from our broad product catalogue) or from your own proprietary cell lines
Example – characterization of cellular functions
neo-angiogenic properties of endothelial cells
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells HUVEC/TERT2 are characterized for neo-angiogenic properties, which are key characteristics of endothelial cells.
When seeded onto matrigel matrix the cells start formation of tubule-like structures (left). Additionally, HUVEC/TERT2 cells can be grown as 3D spheroids embedded in a collagen matrix. Treatment of the spheroids with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) leads to formation of sprouts (right). These data demonstrate that telomerized HUVEC/TERT2 cells, albeit growing without limitations, show essential differentiated properties and neo-angiogenic properties.

induction of myofibroblast differentiation
Treatment of skin fibroblasts fHDF/TERT166 cells with transforming growth factor ß (TGFß) induces expression of alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha SMA) as demonstarted by immunofluorescent staining (green: alpha SMA, blue: cell nuclei stained with DAPI). These data demonstrate the cells ability to differentiate towards myofibroblasts, which is a key event in physiological and pathological tissue repair.
