| General description: | Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details. RbAOSMC from Cell Applications, Inc. were used to demonstrate that anti-restenosis drug probucol inhibition of vascular smooth cell proliferation by enhancing apoptosis and inducing heme oxygenase-1 (Deng, 2004). RbAOSMC were also used to evaluate performance of a novel pH/CO2 sensor system for measuring metabolic activity of cultured cells (Mohri, 2006); and to characterize the receptor pharmacology, antiplatelet activity, and vascular pharmacology of APD791, a novel 5-HT2A receptor antagonist (Adams, 2009).Characterization: positive for smooth muscle cell specific alpha-actin expression. |
