General description

MCDB-131 medium provides a defined and optimally balanced nutritional environment that selectively promotes the growth of specific cell types. MCDB-131 is designed to support clonal growth of human microvascular endothelial cells, including human umbilical vein endothelial cells, when supplemented with 0.7% FBSP, 10 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, and 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone. MCDB media is made for the low-protein or serum-free growth of specific cell types using hormones, growth factors, trace elements, or low levels of dialyzed fetal bovine serum protein (FBSP). 

Application

MCDB-131 Medium has been used:

  • as a component of the basal medium to culture bovine retinal endothelial cells
  • to culture bovine lung microvascular endothelial cells
  • for the isolation of porcine endocranial endothelial cells and porcine aortic endothelial cells

Quantity

Formulated to contain 11.6 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 1.18 g/L sodium bicarbonate.

Endocardial endothelium, which lines the chambers of the heart, is distinct in its origin, structure, and function. Characterization studies using genomics and proteomics have reported molecular signatures supporting the structural and functional heterogeneity of various endothelial cells.

Arthropod-borne rickettsial pathogens cause mild and severe human disease worldwide. The tick-borne pathogen Rickettsia parkeri elicits skin lesions (eschars) and disseminated disease in humans; however, inbred mice are generally resistant to infection. We report that intradermal infection of mice lacking
