Fibroblast-derived VEGF Regulates Endothelial Cell Growth and Differentiation in a Co-culture Angiogenesis Model
23 Sept 2015Using a compact fluorescent imaging instrument with a kinetic co-culture model of angiogenesis, involving GFP-infected HUVECs and normal human fibroblasts, this scientific poster demonstrates the ability to visualize and quantify all stages of in vitro angiogenesis in a time-dependent manner for up to 14 days. Algorithms were developed to easily quantify tube length, area, and branching to measure the effects of pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic agents. In addition, the contribution of endogenous VEGF on tube formation using anti-VEGF antibodies was also examined.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
