Description

Details

A more clinically-relavant co-culture assay

The VascuNet™ Pericyte Co-Culture Assay is a novel angiogenesis model that includes HUVECs and pericytes (PC-Ms) to study the effects of drug and therapeutic compounds on vascularization in a 96-well plate. PC-M cells are derived from a proprietary differentiation method using the ESI-017 Human Embryonic Stem Cell Line. Cells and media components undergo strict quality screening to ensure reproducibility. Networks are maintained for up to four to six days, allowing for a more extensive and clinically-relevant model system for studying the effects of compounds on tube formation.

Features
  • VascuNet tube networks approximate in vivo vessels more closely than other systems
  • Allows for long-term in vitro analyses of pro- and anti-angiogenic compounds on established vessels
  • Pericytes are hESC-derived ensuring easy expansion and reproducible results
Developed by ReCyte Therapeutics Inc, a subsidiary of BioTime, Inc.
