Description

Human melanocytes are isolated from foreskin or adult epidermal tissue and cryopreserved at an early passage to maintain physiological relevance. These specialized neural crest–derived pigment-producing cells exhibit a characteristic dendritic or polygonal morphology and actively synthesize melanin within melanosomes, which they transfer to keratinocytes to mediate UV protection and skin pigmentation. These cells exhibit expression of hallmark melanocytic markers. Primary human melanocytes are critical models for studying pigmentation disorders, UV response, and melanoma progression. As non-transformed primary cells, they have a finite lifespan and should not be used for indefinite passaging. 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.

Application

  • AcceGen’s human melanocytes are ideal for in vitro investigations of melanogenesis, pigmentation genetics, UV-induced DNA damage repair, and cellular senescence. They provide a reliable model for studying dermatological conditions such as vitiligo, albinism, and melasma, and are widely used for toxicology testing and drug screening. Moreover, they serve as a foundation for melanoma research—allowing comparisons between normal and transformed counterparts to explore oncogenic mutations, tumor suppressor pathways, and epitope-specific immunotherapies. These cells can be co-cultured with keratinocytes or fibroblasts to recapitulate skin microenvironments and barrier responses.
