Human Esophageal Epithelial Cells

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.

Rat Esophageal Epithelial Cells

Rat Primary Esophageal Epithelial Cells from Gentaur are isolated from tissue of adult laboratory Sprague–Dawley Rats. Rat Primary Esophageal 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 Primary Esophageal Epithelial Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibodies of E-cadherin or ZO-1. Rat Primary Esophageal 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 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.

Rat Lens Epithelial Cells

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 cover the anterior surface of the fibers.
