Description
The oviducts are part of the genital tract. They have a wall of smooth muscle, an inner mucosal lining and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue. The oviduct regulates fertilization through sperm guidance and sperm hyperactivation. The sperm guidance is achieved through rheotaxis, thermotaxis and chemotaxis. In vitro cultured oviduct epithelial cells can be used as feeder cells for embryo culture.
Rat Oviduct Epithelial Cells (rOECs)from Creative Bioarray are isolated from the rat oviduct tissue. The method we use to isolate rOECs was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods. The rOECs are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to cytokeratin-18 (CK-18). Each vial contains 0.5x10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
