Primary Human Pulmonary Fibroblasts (HPF) are isolated from human lung tissue

Pericytes are multipotent mesenchymal-like cells found in association with small blood vessel walls and are important for angiogenesis, the structural integrity of the microvasculature and blood flow regulation. However, they can also develop into malignant tumours called hemangiopericytomas.

Primary Human Small Airway Epithelial Cells (HSAEpC) are isolated from the distal portion of the human respiratory tract in the 1 mm bronchiole area. They stain positive for cytokeratin.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary human nasal epithelial cells (HNEpC) are isolated from normal human nasal mucosa and stain positive for cytokeratin. The epithelium in the nasal cavity cleans, humidifies, and warms inhaled air. In addition, it produces mucus, which binds particles that are subsequently transported to the pharynx by cilia on the epithelial cells. HNEpC are useful for in vitro studies of these processes.

Primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) are isolated from human coronary arteries and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. Coronary arteries supply the heart with blood and obstruction in atherosclerosis causes myocardial infarction. HCASMC are qualified to study the function of smooth muscle cells in the development of atherosclerotic plaques or in other diseases, like hypertension.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary human renal epithelial cells (HREpC) are isolated from the adult kidney and stain positive for cytokeratin.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary Human Saphenous Vein Endothelial Cells (HSaVEC) are isolated from human saphe-nous veins from single donors

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells (HBSMC) are isolated from the bronchi from single donors and stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary Human Dermal Blood Endothelial Cells (HDBEC) are a subpopulation of the Human Dermal Endothelial Cells. They are isolated from the dermis of juvenile foreskin and adult skin (different locations) from a single donor.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) are available from single or pooled donors isolated from the epidermis of juvenile foreskin or adult skin from different locations like the face, the breasts, the abdomen and the thighs.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary human skeletal muscle cells (SkMC) are isolated from different skeletal muscles (eg. musculus pectoralis major) from adult single donors. They are positive for sarcomeric myosin and negative for smooth muscle specific α-actin.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary human chondrocytes (HCH) are isolated from normal human articular cartilage from the knee and hip joints. HCH are routinely tested for the capacity to differentiate in 3D spheroids.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

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

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Primary Human Pulmonary Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HPMEC) are isolated from the lung from a single donor. Since lung tissue contains blood and lymphatic capillaries, HPMEC comprise Blood and Lymphatic Microvascular Endothelial Cells. The cells are routinely analysed by immunofluorescent staining: they stain positive for CD31 and von Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle alpha-actin.

Supplier: PROMOCELL

Human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpC) are isolated from the surface epithelium of human bronchi and stain positive for cytokeratin. The respiratory epithelia are responsible for the lubrication of the lungs, the maintenance of humidity, and the cleaning of the respiratory tract. They are an important target for drugs, toxins, and carcinogens. In addition, they are involved in many diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Consequently, HBEpC are useful for investigating the function and pathology of the respiratory system.

Primary Human Aortic Adventitial Fibroblasts (HAoAF) are isolated from human aortic adventitial tissue. HAoAF can be used for studies concerning vascular diseases e.g. neointimal formation, vascular remodeling, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. They are also often used for the examination of fibroblast disorders like fibrosis or other diseases linked to either imperfect or excessive accumulation of fibroblasts.
