Be careful: HUVEC is a generic term that regroups primary cells (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells) distributed by many companies, finite life cell lines like HUVEC-C from ATCC and other distributors:

but also immortalized cell lines such as HUVEC/TERT2:

and many other such type of cell lines.

So you need to see which one you need.
