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.

Human Prostate Epithelial Cells (HPrEC), when grown in LIPro Medium, provides an ideal serum-free culture model, without retinoic acid, for the study of prostate cells. Common uses for HPrEC are studies of hormonal regulation of the prostate, regulation and control of the secretory function of prostate cells and as a control for the study of prostate cancer. HPrEC are cryopreserved as secondary cells to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency. Our HPrEC are quality tested in LIPro Medium to ensure optimal serum-free growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than serum-supplemented media. Cell Features:HPrEC are cryopreserved as secondary cells, e.g. cells are isolated fromhuman prostate tissue and expanded twice in culture vessels before beingharvested for cryopreservation.HPrEC proliferate in a serum-free, retinoic acid-free medium withoutphenol red or antimicrobials when cultured in ProstaLifeTM medium.HPrEC are extensively tested for quality and optimal performance.Gentaur guarantees performance and quality.

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 cells that make up the mammalian lens consist of two types: lens fiber cells, which form the bulk of the lens, and a monolayer of epithelial cells that cover the anterior surface of the fibers.
