Human Lung Smooth Muscle Cells

Description: HTSMC from Creative Bioarray Research are isolated from human trachea. HTSMC are cryopreserved at secondary culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HTSMC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to ?-smooth muscle actin and desmin. HTSMC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HTSMC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Creative Bioarray.

Description: HPAAF from Creative Bioarray are isolated from human pulmonary artery. HPAAF are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HPAAF are characterized by spindle morphology and by immunofluorescent method with antibody to fibronectin. HPAAF are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HPAAF are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Creative Bioarray.

Description: HBSMC from Creative Bioarray Research Laboratories are isolated from human bronchi and bronchioles. HBSMC are cryopreserved at secondary culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HBSMC are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to ?-smooth muscle actin and desmin. HBSMC are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HBSMC are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the condition provided by Creative Bioarray.

Description: Human Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells (HPASMCs) provided by Creative Bioarray are isolated from the normal human pulmonary artery tissue. The cells are cryopreserved at passage 2 and delivered frozen. Each vial contains more than 0.5*10^6 viable cells after thawing. The cells are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HPASMCs are guaranteed for at least 12 population doublings under the conditions provided by Creative Bioarray. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.

Description: Creative Bioarray's normal Human Lung Fibroblasts provide an ideal cell system to establish serum free human feeder layers for human embryonic stem cell cultures or as a model to study wound healing, toxicology or basic cell biology.

Cell Features:
HDFn are cryopreserved as primary cells. Cells are isolated from neonatal human foreskin and expanded in culture vessels once before cryopreservation.
HDFa are cryopreserved as primary cells. Cells are isolated from adult human skin and expanded in culture vessels once before cryopreservation.
Human Lung Fibroblasts are cryopreserved as secondary cells cells are isolated from human lungs and expanded in culture vessels twice before cryopreservation.
Fibroblasts can be grown in serum-free, animal protein-free, phenol red-free, and antimicrobial free conditions when cultured in FibroLife Serum-Free Medium.
Fibroblasts are extensively tested to meet quality standards and exhibit optimal performance.
Creative Bioarray's Fibroblasts are suitable for use as feeder layers as xeno-free or non-xeno free cultures for human embryonic stem cells and other cell culture applications requiring feeder layers.

Description: Creative Bioarray's normal Human Airway Epithelial Cells, when grown in Creative Bioarray's LIBro Medium, provide an ideal serum-free culture model for the accurate studies of toxicity, cystic fibrosis, asthma, pathogenesis, pharmacology or airway wound healing. Creative Bioarray's HSAEC are cultured without retinoic acid and cryopreserved as primary cells to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency. Our HSAEC are quality tested in LIBro SAE Medium to ensure optimal growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings at rates equal to or greater than other commercially available media.

Cell Features:
HBTEC are cryopreserved as primary cells. Cells are isolated from human bronchi/trachea and expanded once in culture vessels before being harvested for cryopreservation.
HSAEC are cryopreserved after primary cells are isolated from human lung tissue and expanded once in culture vessels before being harvested for cryopreservation.
Creative Bioarray's Human Airway Epithelial Cells are not exposed to retinoic acid during isolation or expansion.
Human Airway Epithelial Cells are extensively tested for quality and optimal performance.
Creative Bioarray guarantees performance and quality.
