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 Amniotic Epithelial Cells

Human amniotic membrane is composed of an epithelial cell layer, a basement membrane and an avascular matrix. The amniotic epithelial cells (AEC) are formed from epiblasts on the 8th day after fertilization. A probable result of their embryonic origin, AEC lack major histocompatibility complex antigens and have been used for allotranplantation to treat patients with lysosomal diseases. Studies have shown that AEC have multiple functions such as synthesis and release of acetylcholine and catecholamine as well as expressing mRNA coding for DA receptors and DA transporters. They express neuronal and glial cell marks, produce basic fibroblast growth factors and hepatocyte growth factors and transform growth factor-beta. Human AEC has been suggested as an appropriate human cell model for studying DA release and uptake processes, receptor signal transduction and exploring newly developed drugs acting at these receptors.HAEpiC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human amniotic membranes. HAEpiC are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HAEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to cytokeratin-18, -19 and vimentin. HAEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HAEpiC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings in the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells

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.

Human Colonic Epithelial Cells

The colorectum is a major organ for both malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Cells that line the colonic mucosal surface form a major mechanical barrier that separates the host’s internal milieu from the external environment. In addition to the well-established role of epithelial cells in ion transport, these cells appear to function as an integral component of the mucosal immune system. Human colon epithelial cells can process and present antigens to T cells in vitro, and can be stimulated to express HLA class II and intercellular adhesion molecules in vivo. They also respond to a broad array of cytokines with altered gene expression and growth characteristics. In addition, normal colonic epithelial cells were found to express the integrin α3, α5, α6, β1 and β4 chains. HCoEpiC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human colonic tissue. HCoEpiC are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HCoEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to CK18 and CK19. HCoEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HCoEpiC are guaranteed to further culture for 15 population doublings in the conditions provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.
