Diseased human aortic endothelial cells are isolated from human donors that have been diagnosed with diabetes type I or type II disease. Diseased cells are grown in the same optimized media system as normal human endothelial cells.

Diabetic cultures can be used for experimental applications in diabetic-related cardiovascular pharmaceutical development, vascular pathology, including atherosclerosis. Cryopreserved Clonetics® Diabetic Human Aortic Endothelial Cells are shipped in third passage. Proliferating Clonetics® cells are shipped in fourth passage. All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots.
