Description

General description

Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details. Cells are dissolved in RNAlater for subsequent RNA, DNA, or protein analysis. Note that cell pellets cannot be revived.

Application

Primary Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells (HSAEpC) are isolated from the distal portion of the human respiratory tract in the 1 mm bronchiole area. They stain positive for cytokeratin.The distal respiratory tract mainly consists of pulmonary alveoli, which are spherical outcroppings of the respiratory bronchioles and are the primary sites of gas exchange with the blood. HSAEpC are qualified for functional studies to investigate disorders such as asthma or pulmonary inflammation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bronchiole

Physical form

Analysis Note

Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of the corresponding cells. They are tested for cell viability, cell morphology, growth performance and for cell-type specific markers. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).

Other Notes

The Cell Pellets can be stored indefinitely at -20°C, and for up to 1 month at 4°C. Note: The Cell Pellets will not freeze at -20°C. Always centrifuge product briefly before opening vial.
