Normal Human Tracheal Epithelial Cells-P1 (NhTE-P1)
$595.00
Proliferating Normal Human Tracheal Epithelial Cells- P0 (NhTE-P1) are isolated as NhTE-P0 cells from the trachea of healthy human donors but do not contain epithelial cells from the primary bronchus. Each vial of the Proliferating NhTE-P1 cells were expanded on plastic using BEGM, CRC or Dual Smad expansion media to isolate out an homogenous basal cell population.
Proliferating NhTE-P1 cells have been characterized by morphological assessment by light microscopy. The NhTE-P1 homogenous basal cell population was then further QC tested after differentiating the NhTE-P1 cells into ciliated, non-ciliated and goblet cells. These differentiated cells were characterized and Air/Liquid Interface culture (ALI) validated by immunofluorescence using protein markers for Cilia (acetylated tubulin), mucin (MUC5AC), tight junctions (Zonula Occludens-1), and basal cells (cytokeratin-5). The NhTE-P1 cells are guaranteed to have a minimum of at least 20 population doublings from P1 to P3 following the instructions and conditions provided by Novabiosis.

Product Warranty
CULTURES HAVE A LIMITED LIFESPAN IN VITRO.
Novabiosis guarantees the performance of its cells only if following Novabiosis specific use instructions exclusively, and the recommended protocols are followed. The performance of the cells are not guaranteed if any modifications are made.
Cryopreserved proliferating NhTE-p1 are assured to be viable and functional when thawed and maintained properly.

WARNING: Primary human cell products are derived from whole human organs, thus should be treated as potentially infectious. Blood samples from the donor are tested and found non-reactive using FDA approved test kits in CLIA certified labs and are testing for the presence of HIV-I/II, Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus. In some cases, but not all, HTLV-1 and 2 are tested and reported.
Test results do not offer complete assurance that HIV-I/II, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus are absent. All human sourced products should be handled at the appropriate Biological Safety Level in order to minimize exposure of potentially infectious products.
