General description
Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details.
HBEpC provide an excellent model system to study all aspects of epithelial function and disease, particularly those related to airway viral infections, as well as tissue repair mechanisms, signaling changes and potential treatments relevant to lung injuries, mechanical and oxidative stress, inflammation, pulmonary diseases and smoking.
When grown on inserts and provided with the liquid/air interface, HBEpC can differentiate into a pseudostriated epithelium and serve as a more physiological 3D tissue model for in vitro studies.
Application
epithelial function, tissue repair, cell signaling, lung injury treatment, mechanical and oxidative stress tests, cell differentiation, 3D tissue model, cytokine and growth factor production, apoptosis, cell adhesion molecules, cell permeability, pro-inflammatory signaling, viral fusion mechanisms, gene expression, library screening, mucin secretion
