Description

Human Pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC), also called Human Pneumocytes, are separated from human lung tissue. Human lung alveolar epithelial cells line the alveoli and comprise of 2 subtypes of epithelial cells known as Type I Alveolar Cells (AT1) and Type II Alveolar Cells (AT2).

Type 1 vs Type 2 Pneumocytes
AT1 cells are large squamous cells that account for over 95% of the alveolar surface area, type II cells are much smaller than Type I, scattered between Type I and adjacent alveolar septal junctions. Type I pneumocytes form the epithelial component of the thin air–blood barrier, while Type II pneumocytes secrete surfactants that form a fatty film to lowering surface tension. AT2 cells can also differentiate to replace damaged AT1 cells. Type II Alveolar cells contain Na+-, K+-ATPase and amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na+ channels.

Why Choose Human Pneumocytes from AcceGen?
AcceGen provides cryopreserved primary alveolar epithelial cells for the best viability and plating efficiency. Each vial contains >0.5 x 10^6 cells in 1ml volume. AcceGen Human Pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies E-cadherin and ZO-1. Cells are guaranteed for future culture in our recommended Alveolar Epithelial Cell Medium.
Purified Human Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells and Immortalized Human Alveolar Epithelial Cell Line are also available in AcceGen.
