General information
| 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. |

Biomolecular Data
| 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. |
Handling
| 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, we 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 |
|
| Incubation Atmosphere | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Shipping Conditions | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Storage Conditions | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Quality Control & Molecular Analysis
| 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. |
