Immortalized Chicken Embryo Intestinal Epithelial Cells enable avian gut barrier assays, transport studies, infection modeling, and epithelial biology.
Immortalized Chicken Embryo Intestinal Epithelial Cells are derived from the intestinal epithelium of developing chicken embryos and genetically modified to extend proliferative capacity while retaining epithelial features. These intestinal epithelial cells exhibit an elongated spindle-shaped morphology, forming polarized monolayers with intact tight junctions in culture. These chicken cells express characteristic mesenchymal markers including Vimentin, indicating their epithelial-mesenchymal transition potential. The cell line maintains important functional properties of intestinal cells, reflecting the physiological context of the chicken intestine and making it valuable for investigating nutrient absorption, barrier function, and host-pathogen interactions. Their gene expression reflects active epithelial differentiation and innate immune pathways. Widely used in avian intestinal biology, developmental research, and infectious disease modeling, this cell line offers unique advantages for comparative intestinal studies and vaccine development due to its avian origin.
