Human Nasal Epithelial Cells

Human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpCs) form the physical barrier of innate immunity that protect host from inhaled environmental insults. Nasal respiratory epithelial cells play an important role in modulation of inflammation and adaptive immunity upon injuries and pathogen infection. In addition, they are important for mucociliary clearance of noxious substances by orchestrating mucus secretion and cilia beating Studies on SARS-CoV-2 infection found several viral entry factors highly expressed in nasal airway epithelial cells, highlighting the vital role of nasal epithelium in viral infection, spread and clearance.
Why Choose Human Nasal Epithelial Cells from AcceGen?
Human nasal epithelial cells are isolated from normal human nasal mucosa. Cells at passage 2 are cryopreserved immediately after isolation. Each vial contains > 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. Cells are characterized to positively express cytokeratin. All human nasal epithelial cells are tested negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV and other pathogens. Human nasal epithelial cells are quality tested with stable morphology and high post-thaw viability.
