Porcine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from healthy porcine brain tissue. Porcine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with a gelatin-based solution for 0.5 hours and incubated in Ace Therapeutics’s Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

C57BL/6 Mouse Astrocytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from brain tissues of pathogen-free laboratory mice. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Cynomolgus Monkey Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from Cynomolgus monkey brain tissue. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Mouse Astrocytes-midbrain from CD1 (MA-mb) are isolated from embryonic day 15 mouse midbrain. MA-mb are cryopreserved as primary cultures and delivered frozen.

Mouse Astrocytes-cerebellar from CD1 from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from a pathogen-free mouse cerebellar and are cryopreserved as primary cultures. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Bovine astrocytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from the bovine brain and are cryopreserved at passage one. Bovine astrocytes are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibody specific to GFAP. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Human brain microvascular pericytes (HBMVPCs) perform numerous tasks which include playing a vital part in constructing and maintaining the blood-brain barrier, controlling angiogenesis, ensuring endothelial cell survival, and engulfing cellular waste. Human Brain Microvascular Pericytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from normal human brain cortical tissue. Each vial contains at least 5×10^5 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HBMECs), derived from the human brain, are a specific type of brain endothelial cells that play a crucial role in forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB). They prevent the entry of soluble and cellular substances from the blood into the brain and protect it against toxins and immune cells. These brain microvascular endothelial cells have the ability to display cell adhesion molecules on their surface, which control the migration of leukocytes into the brain. Nevertheless, when there are host-pathogen interactions outside the cells, it can activate calcium signaling within the endothelial cells, leading to the penetration of pathogens through the BBB. Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from normal human brain cortical tissue. Each vial contains at least 5×10^5 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.

Rabbit Astrocytes from Ace Therapeutics are isolated from rabbit brains and are cryopreserved at passage one. Rabbit Astrocytes are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibody specific to GFAP. Each vial contains at least 0.5×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
