The mammary gland consists of pseudostratified epithelia, with myoepithelila cells resting upon a basement membrane and apical glandular epithelial cells facing the lumen of the ducts and alveoli. Mammary epithelial cells undergo changes in growth, invasion, and differentiation throughout much of adulthood, and most strikingly during pregnancy, lactation, and involution. They proliferate and invade the surrounding extracellular matrix during the fetal and postnatal development of the gland, and then more vigorously at puberty as the branches of the mammary epithelial tree are formed.HMEpiC from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from normal human breast tissue. HMEpiC are cryopreserved at passage one culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HMEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with cytokeratine antibodies. HMEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HMEpiC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings in the conditions provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories

Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells from Gentaur are isolated from tissue of 1-day-old neonatal laboratory Sprague–Dawley Rats. Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 0.5 hour and incubated in Gentaur's Cell Culture Medium for 3-5 days. Cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 1x10^6 cells and is delivered frozen.Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibodies of E-cadherin and ZO-1. Rat Mammary Epithelial Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-7 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 under the cell culture conditions specified by Gentaur. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.Standard biochemical procedures performed with epithelial cell cultures include the assays of cell to cell adhesion and migration, RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining or immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
