CD-1 Mouse Lung Cells

Description

CD-1 Mouse Lung Cells are primary cells isolated from the lung tissue of pathogen-free CD-1 mice. This heterogeneous population includes epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and pulmonary endothelial cells. The cells are typically spindle- or polygonal-shaped and display adherent growth in vitro, supporting CD-1 mouse lung cell interactions. These cells play essential roles in maintaining alveolar structure, regulating airway barrier function. They are extensively used in studies of pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, and lung injury models, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Karyotype analysis confirms chromosomal stability, and the cells express lung-specific markers such as surfactant protein C (SP-C) and E-cadherin. To ensure the quality of these primary cells, repeated freeze-thawcycles are not recommended due to the fragile nature of these cells. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
