Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells

Description

Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells are primarily derived from human bronchial or tracheal tissues. Morphologically, these cells exhibit a polygonal or elongated shape and possess typical epithelial cell characteristics. These cells express molecules such as epithelial cell adhesion molecules (E-cadherin) and tight junction proteins (ZO-1), which play crucial roles in maintaining cell morphology, barrier function, and ciliary movement. The primary functions of these cells include mucus secretion and ciliary beating, which help clear harmful substances such as dust and bacteria from the respiratory tract, making them an important model for investigating tracheal epithelium in disease and elucidating the mechanisms regulating airway ciliary function. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
