Normal and Diseased Bronchial Epithelial (NHBE and DHBE) cells are isolated from epithelial lining of airways above bifurcation of the lungs. CC-2540S are NHBEs suitable for air-liquid interface cell culture and are guaranteed for differentiation marked by cilia formation, mucin production, and TEER levels.

All Cryopreserved human bronchial epithelial cells are guaranteed through 15 population doublings. Cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots.

A rotating bioreactor for scalable culture and differentiation of respiratory epithelium. Respiratory epithelium is difficult to grow as it requires a well-maintained polarizing air‐liquid interface (ALI) to maintain differentiation. Raredon et al. describe a scalable and easy method to conduct air-liquid interface with Lonza's bronchial epithelial cells guaranteed for ALI differentiation.
