Bovine Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells, BPASMC (L) immunolabeled for smooth muscle-specific alpha-actin using ABC method (R).
Bovine Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells: BPASMC
Description
Bovine Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (BPASMC) from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used in studies relevant to
- Pulmonary hypertension characterized by hyperproliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, the process shown to be mediated by hypoxia-induced expression of Bcl-xl
- Additionally, they were used to elucidate the PKC-α dependent mechanisms of proMMP-2 activation and other signaling events in smooth muscle cells under pro-inflammatory conditions related to cell growth
Characterization: positive for smooth muscle cell specific alpha-actin expression
