In this video, we demonstrate the isolation of endothelial cells from the abdominal aorta of a pig model using one-step collagenase digestion. The endothelial cells can be cultured for further downstream applications.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Isolation of Porcine Aortic Endothelial Cells Under aseptic conditions, remove the pig aorta from the washing buffer, and place it on a 150 mm Petri dish (Figure 1A). Gently cut off the two ends of the aorta and excise excess tissue around aorta with sterile forceps and scissors again (Figure 1B</stron…
