Primary Human Tracheal Epithelial Cells (HTEpC) are isolated from the surface epithelium of human trachea and stain positive for cytokeratin.

• Cytokeratin positive
• Routinely morphology checked
• Cryopreserved at second passage

The respiratory epithelia are responsible for the lubrication of the lungs, the maintenance of humidity, and the cleaning of the respiratory tract

This product can be used in the following applications. Drug uptake studies, Toxicological research, Wound healing research, Oncology, Cell differentiation studies, Respiratory disease research.

They are an important target for drugs, toxins, and carcinogens. In addition, they are involved in many diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Consequently, HTEpC are useful for investigating the function and pathology of the respiratory system.
