Special edition cells are isolated from the tissue types described. Cells are sterility and virus tested. All tissues used for cell isolation are obtained under informed consent. Gentaur complies with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Characterization standards for special edition cells have not been established.

Fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells derived from the embryonic mesoderm. They have been extensively used for a wide range of cellular and molecular studies. This is mainly because they are one of the easiest types of cells to grow in culture, and their durability makes them amenable to a wide variety of manipulations ranging from studies employing gene transfection to microinjection. There is good evidence that fibroblasts in different parts of the body are intrinsically different. Fibroblasts within tissues are exposed to a dynamic mechanical environment, which influences the structure integrity of both healthy and healing soft tissue. Fibroblasts secrete a nonrigid extracellular matrix that is rich in type I and/or type III collagen. As cells of mesenchymal origin, human bladder stromal fibroblasts (HBdSF) also secrete FGF-7, which interact primarily with bladder epithelial cells. FGF-7 secreted by HBdSF is essential for stimulating the formation of a multilayered stratified bladder epithelium. HBdSF from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human bladder tissue. HBdSF are cryopreserved at secondary culture (passage one) and are delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HBdSF are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibody to fibronectin. HBdSF are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HBdSF are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.

Perineurial cells are of mesenchymal origin. They make up the perineurium, which has the important role of maintaining the integrity of the internal peripheral nerve environment by creating a physical barrier.

Rat Primary Prostate Fibroblasts from Gentaur are isolated from tissue of adult Sprague-Dawley Rats. Rat Primary Prostate Fibroblasts are grown in T75 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based solution for 0.5 hour and incubated in Gentaur's Cell Culture Medium for 3-7 days. Cultures are then expanded. Prior to shipping, cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains at least 1x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Rat Primary Prostate Fibroblasts are tested for expression of marker using the antibody of anti-FSP1/S100A4 by immunofluorescence staining and can be expanded by 2-4 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Gentaur. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.Standard biochemical procedures performed with fibroblast cultures include the assays of cell to cell interaction, PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining, immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.

The most abundant cell type in lung interstitium is fibroblasts. They resemble ordinary fibroblasts but have some distinguishing features, for example, they have long branching processes and gap junctions.
