Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells-Immortalized by SV40T Antigens
Product Overview
The pulmonary artery originates from the right ventricle and travels diagonally upward and backward, in front of the aorta. Below the aortic arch, it divides into the left and right pulmonary arteries, entering the lungs via the hilum. Even though the pulmonary artery is an artery, it carries deoxygenated (venous) blood because it's connected to the right ventricle, which pumps venous blood. The calcium channels expressed by these cells have ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 on their surface, which are involved in vascular wall inflammatory responses. In vitro cultured pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells appear spindle-shaped, star-shaped, or irregular. Rat Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells-Immortalized by SV40T Antigens were immortalized through lentiviral transfection carrying the SV40 gene (these cells acquire puromycin resistance after transfection).
Specifications
Target Information
These cells are transformed and stably express the large T-antigen of the simian virus 40 (SV40T antigens) to immortalize the cells and extend their lifespan.
