Bovine Smooth Muscle Cells

Bovine Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (BCASMC)

Bovine Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (BPASMC)

Bovine Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells (BAOSMC)

Bovine large artery smooth muscle cells are derived from tunica intima and tunica media of healthy, fibrous, plaque-free bovine large arteries. They are cryopreserved at second passage and can be cultured and propagated at least 16 population doublings. Smooth muscle cells have been found in fatty streaks of early arteriosclerosis. Proliferation of the smooth muscle cells is considered a key event in the development of advanced lesions¹. They are an economical alternative suitable for investigations in cardiac disease and arteriosclerosis^1-3, especially in co-culture with species-matched bovine arterial endothelial cells.
