SVEC4-10 Cells

Categories: Mouse cell lines Description: The SVEC4-10 cell line is derived from murine endothelial cells and is widely utilized in research focused on vascular biology and endothelial function. These cells are characterized by their robust proliferative capacity and ability to form capillary-like structures, making them an excellent model for studying angiogenesis and vascular network formation. SVEC4-10 cells express typical endothelial markers such as CD31 (PECAM-1) and von Willebrand factor, which are essential for their identification and functionality in vascular studies. In addition to their use in angiogenesis research, SVEC4-10 cells are also employed in studies investigating endothelial cell response to various stimuli, including cytokines, growth factors, and pharmacological agents. They provide a valuable in vitro system to explore mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and its implications in diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. The ability to manipulate these cells genetically further enhances their utility in dissecting molecular pathways involved in endothelial cell biology. Overall, SVEC4-10 cells are a vital tool in vascular research, contributing to the understanding of endothelial cell behavior and pathology. Organism: Mouse Tissue: Axillary Nodes Synonyms: SVEC 4-10 Breed: C3H/HeJ Age: Adult Gender: Male Morphology: Epithelial Growth Properties: Adherent Citation: SVEC4-10 (Cytion catalog number 305180) Biosafety Level: 1 Ncbi_ Taxid: 10090.0 Cellosaurus Accession: CVCL_4393 Receptors Expressed: High affinity receptors for low density lipoprotein (LDL) Antigen Expression: H-2 K, Factor VIII related antigen, VCAM Tumorigenic: Yes, the cells induce spindle tumors with some of the histopathologic characteristics of human Kaposi Sarcoma after a latency period of approximately 14 weeks. Culture Medium: DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) Supplements: Supplement the medium with 10% FBS Dissociation Reagent: Accutase Doubling Time: 24 to 30 hours Subculturing: Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. Fluid Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week Freeze Medium: As a cryopreservation medium, use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. Thawing And Culturing Cells: Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit. Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150°C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required. For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37°C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains. Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening. Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently. Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks, for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth. Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes. Sterility: Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. Safety Precautions: When planning to store a cryovial in liquid nitrogen for future thawing, it is mandatory to adhere to stringent safety measures. Appropriate protective gloves and clothing are essential, and the use of a face mask or safety goggles is required during the transfer of frozen samples to or from the liquid nitrogen tank. This is to mitigate the risk of injury from potential cryovial explosions upon removal, which can result in the projection of sharp fragments.
