HUMAN TRACHEAL EPITHELIAL CELLS: HTEPC ADULT (C15-1304-224)

General description

Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details.

HTEpC provide a useful model system to study all aspects of epithelial function and disease, particularly those related to airway viral infections, as well as tissue repair mechanisms, signaling changes and potential treatments relevant to lung injuries, mechanical and oxidative stress, pulmonary diseases and smoking.

HTEpC have been used in a study investigating the role of goblet cell hyperplasia, possibly mediated by the expression of SPDEF, to the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary diseases (Park, 2007).

Characterization: the cells have a characteristic morphology consistent with an epithelial origin and are positive for epithelial cell marker cytokeratin 18.
