Step 1: endothelial 1

day 0 ~ 2

culture “device” human EC in “EC-SFM” for “2” days. For ECM, use “fibrin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

concentrationunit
aprotinin33g/l
platelet-poor plasma-derived serum1%
VEGF3.0e-5g/l
FGF2.0e-5g/l
HIDEM proliferation medium50%

Ideally, “EC” should express “PECAM1” at the end of culture.

Step 2: endothelial 2

day 2 ~ 4

culture “device” human EC in “Lonza CC-3162” for “2” days. For ECM, use “fibrin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

HIDEM differentiation medium50%

Ideally, “EC” should express “PECAM1” at the end of culture.
