Immortalized Chicken Embryo Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Description

Immortalized Chicken Embryo Intestinal Epithelial Cells were originally derived from the chicken embryos intestinal tissue to establish an immortalized avian cell line. These cells maintain strong adherent culture properties. They serve as a cost-effective and easy-to-maintain in vitro model for public health research, food safety studies, pharmaceutical development, and laboratories focused on host-pathogen interactions, foodborne pathogens, and innovations in food/feed science.

Application

• Developed to overcome the lack of avian intestinal models, cIECs simulate enterocyte function in response to dietary and microbial challenges. These cells mount immune responses to inflammatory stimuli and parasitic invasion (e.g., Eimeria tenella), making them ideal for research on gut health, food safety, and poultry nutrition. Their ease of culture and responsiveness make them valuable for both academic and applied research.
