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.

Keratinocytes are able to produce a variety of cytokines, growth factors, interleukins and complement factors. Therefore, keratinocytes are important for wound healing, inflammation and the immune response.

Applications include: Wound healing research, epidermal development and differentiation studies, dermatological research, drug uptake studies, pharmaceutical testing, cosmetic and toxicological testing, oncology.
