Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells-Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

Description

Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells–Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) are isolated from bronchial tissue obtained from donors diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Bronchial epithelial cells play critical roles in maintaining airway barrier integrity, regulating immune responses, and mediating epithelial repair processes. Increasing evidence suggests that epithelial dysfunction contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. Following primary isolation and culture, these cells are cryopreserved for research applications. The cells have been reported to express epithelial-associated markers including E-cadherin, CK18, CK19, and EpCAM. In vitro, they exhibit a characteristic cobblestone-like morphology and grow as an adherent monolayer. Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells–IPF are widely used in studies of epithelial injury, fibrosis mechanisms, cytokine signaling, and antifibrotic drug development. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and quality control testing to ensure freedom from mycoplasma, fungal, yeast, and bacterial contamination.
