General description
A2EN is an immortalized human epithelial cell line derived from human primary epithelial cells expanded from an explant of human endocervical tissue. The primary endocervical epithelial cells were immortalized with lentiviral vectors carrying the HPV E6/E7 genes. A2EN cells can generate a transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) when grown on cell culture inserts and generate differential apical and basolateral cytokine profiles upon stimulation with various toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists.
The endocervical epithelium is a single cell layer lining the endocervical canal that separates the lower female reproductive tract from the uterus and Fallopian tubes. Endocervical epithelial cells secrete mucus and innate immune mediators that facilitate reproduction as well as protect from pathogen invasion. The endocervix is a major site of transmission for multiple sexually transmitted organisms, such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
