CD-1 Mouse Pituitary Cells

Description

CD-1 Mouse Pituitary Cells are primary cells isolated from the anterior pituitary gland of healthy adult CD-1 mice. The pituitary gland, often referred to as the “master gland,” orchestrates numerous endocrine functions through hormone secretion. These cells are primarily composed of hormone-producing epithelial cells, including somatotrophs, lactotrophs, corticotrophs, and gonadotrophs. These cells are cultured under optimized conditions and cryopreserved at early passages to preserve their functional characteristics. Morphologically, these cells appear polygonal to round and form monolayers under adherent conditions. CD-1 Mouse Pituitary Cells retain endocrine activity in vitro and are known to express key pituitary hormones such as ACTH, GH, PRL, and LH, making them a suitable model for neuroendocrine studies. 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.
