Rat Myocardial Fibroblasts-Immortalized by SV40T Antigens

Cat. No.CC7F242

Product TypeAnimal Cells and Cell Lines

Product Overview

Rat Myocardial Fibroblasts play a crucial role in heart diseases such as myocardial fibrosis, myocardial infarction, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. In the heart, cardiac fibroblasts account for approximately 60%-70% of the total cells in normal myocardial tissue, making them the main component of non-myocardial cells in the heart. They are widely distributed throughout the cardiac tissue, surrounding cardiomyocytes and connecting the myocardial interstitium, and are closely associated with pathological conditions like ischemic heart disease, inflammation, hypertrophy, and infarction. These cells were immortalized through lentiviral transfection carrying the SV40 gene (these cells acquire puromycin resistance after transfection).
