Abstract
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) can be isolated from normal human umbilical veins, and are responsive to cytokine stimulation by expressing cell adhesion molecules. These cell systems are commonly used for physiological and pharmacological investigations, such as macromolecule transport, blood coagulation, and angiogenesis. This protocol describes the generation of HUVECs.
