RCM are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to smooth muscle actin, sacromeric alpha-actinin, and tropomyosin. RCM are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. RCM are guaranteed to further culture under the conditions provided by Glow Biologics; however, RCM are not recommended for expanding or long-term cultures since the cells do not proliferate in culture.
