CSC-I9224L
Description
Type I alveolar epithelial cells are large squamous cells, which extend across several air sacs and cover more than 95% of the alveolar surface area. They are specialized to serve as very thin (often only 25 nm in width) gas-permeable components of the blood-air barrier. The Type I Alveolar cells are the target of many insults, including ventilator-induced lung injury. These cells are useful in investigating the function and pathology of the respiratory system.

What are Immortalized Human Alveolar Cells-hTERT?

Immortalized Human Alveolar Cells-hTERT are alveolar epithelial cells that have been genetically immortalized by introducing the hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase) gene. This allows the cells to go beyond 20 passages while maintaining alveolar characteristics, making them ideal for respiratory research.

How do I ensure the cells remain viable and maintain their characteristics?

We provide detailed culture protocols to help you maintain these cells under optimal conditions. The included documentation offers best practices for preserving cell viability and function over time.
