Rat Primary Bronchial Epithelial Cells from Gentaur are isolated from bronchial tissue of 6-8 week old laboratory Sprague–Dawley rat. Rat Primary Bronchial Epithelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Gentaur’ Cell Culture Medium for 3-5 days. Cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5×10^6 cells 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. These cells are pre-coated with EpCAM (CD326) antibody, following the application of magnetic beads pre-coated with secondary antibody.

The epithelium is the interface between the body and the external environment and covers all exterior surfaces and interior lumina. Depending on the tissue of origin, the functions of epithelial cells are diverse and include absorption, secretion, protection, transcellular transport, and sensation.Gentaur offers a range of Epithelial Cells produced at Gentaur's cell culture facility. The cells are isolated from normal human adult tissues of the airways (nasal mucosa, trachea, bronchi, and distal respiratory tract), breast (mammary gland), kidney (whole kidney and renal cortex), and the placenta (amniotic membrane).Shortly after isolation, all Gentaur Human Epithelial Cells are cryopreserved at passage 2 (P2) using Gentaur's proprietary, serum-free freezing medium, Cryo-SFM. Each cryo vial contains more than 500,000 viable cells after thawing.Proliferating cell cultures are made from 500,000 cryopreserved cells that have been thawed and cultured for three days at Gentaur.
