Canine Alveolar Epithelial Cells

Canine Primary Alveolar Epithelial Cells are isolated from alveolar tissue of beagle dog. Canine Primary Alveolar Epithelial Cells are grown in a T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Culture Complete Growth Medium for 3-5 days. Prior to shipping, cells at passage 2 are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 0.5x106 cells per ml and is delivered frozen. The method we use to isolate primary epithelial cells was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods.

Human Conjunctival Epithelial Cells

The conjunctival epithelium is a stratified, non-keratinized epithelium. It can be distinguished by the corneal epithelium by the expression of different cytokeratins, mucins and by the presence of glycocalix. Decrease or loss of mucin/glycocalix production generates squamous metaplasia, which may lead to dry eye and ocular surface diseases. Human conjunctival epithelial cells represent potential target cells for mast cell mediators. They respond to histamine by generating inositol phosphates, mobilizing intracellular calcium, and then secreting proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin-6 and interleukin-8.HConEC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human conjunctiva. HConEC are cryopreserved from passage one culture. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HConEC are characterized by their cobble stone morphology in serum-free culture and immunofluorescent method with antibody to CK-18 and -19. HConEC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HConEC are guaranteed to further expand for 10 population doublings at the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Human Corneal Epithelial Cells

The cornea is a unique tissue for two reasons: the transparency function and the synthesis of most of its proteins due to the cornea being an avascular tissue. The cornea consists of three distinct cell layers, the outer epithelium, the inner endothelium and the central stroma (the keratocytes). The corneal epithelium plays a role in the innate immune response by sensing the presence of pathogens and providing signals that activate the corneal defense system. It also highly expresses aldehyde dehydrogenase to protect against UV- and 4-hydroxynonenal-induced cellular damage. Corneal epithelial basal cell proliferation is controlled by a host of cytokines, e.g., epidermal growth factor, that activate their cognate receptors in the deeper layers of the epithelium. Instead of testing products in the eyes of animals, cultured corneal epithelial cells could be used for toxicology tests in in vitro models and for studying the molecular mechanisms involved in regulating human corneal epithelial cell differentiation.HCEpiC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human cornea. HCEpiC are cryopreserved from passage one culture. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HCEpiC are characterized by their cobble stone morphology in serum-free culture and immunofluorescent method with antibody to CK-18 and -19. HCEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HCEpiC are guaranteed to further expand for 10 population doublings at the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Human Esophageal Epithelial Cells

The human esophagus is lined by a non-keratinizing, moist stratified squamous epithelium whose apical cell membranes and intercellular junctional complexes combine to produce an effective permeability barrier against the influx of luminal content. In particular, the barrier created by these structures limits exposure of the surface cells' basolateral cell membranes and entire membrane of cells of the deeper layers to the wide swings in osmolality occurring regularly within the esophageal lumen. Histologically, the esophageal epithelium consists of two zones, the basal and differentiated zones. Cellular proliferation is limited to the basal zone, and cells are thought to migrate from this area towards the esophageal lumen. Migration is associated with the initiation of differentiation and the sequential expression of differentiation markers. The availability of human esophageal epithelial cell culture provides an excellent in vitro model in the study of the physiology of esophageal epithelium and the mechanisms of the esophageal carcinogenesis.HEEC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from the human esophagus. HEEC are cryopreserved on passage one culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HEEC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to cytokeratine-8, -18 and -19. HEEC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HEEC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings in the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.
