Thymic epithelial cells (TyEpiC) are vital regulators of thymocyte development and T lymphocyte (T-cell) tolerance. The thymus contains two types of TyEpiC, cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells, which regulate the positive selection of thymocytes and the negative selection of autoreactive T-cells. The inability of TyEpiC to remove autoreactive T-cells in the thymus can affect self-tolerance and contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis [3]. Studies have shown that changes in the expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor family members and transcription factors Foxn1 and autoimmune regulator (Aire) can alter the thymic microenvironment and self-tolerance. Human TyEpiC are an excellent in vitro model to study the mechanisms that modulate TyEpiC functionality and to develop targeted treatments for autoimmune disorders.

Human Lens Epithelial Cells from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from the human lens. HLEpiC are cryopreserved at primary culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HLEpiC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to cytokeratin-18, cytokeratin-19 and fibronectin. HLEpiC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HLEpiC are guaranteed to further culture in the conditions provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

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) . 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.
ABC-TC3744
Human Pancreatic Epithelial Cell were initiated by elutriation of dispase dissociated normal pancreatic tissue.These cells were originated using Complete Serum-Free Medium Kit With AcceSup™, are available at <12 Cumulative Population Doublings (CPD) in vitro [Passage 3] and were cryopreserved in aliquots of ~1.5×10^6 cells. This vial will initiate a Passage 4 cell culture in a 75cm2 flask.
