HUF-C

Application

Primary Human Uterine Fibroblasts (HUF) are isolated from the uterine wall and provided in a cryopreserved format. During pregnancy, the uterine wall undergoes deep but reversible structural and biochemical changes. The uterine wall is the target of hormones and growth factors that act simultaneously and lead to extensive modifications of the extracellular matrix. This and other morphological and biochemical effects can be studied in vitro using HUF.

Cell Line Origin

Uterus

Other Notes

Recommended Plating Density: 3500 - 7000 cells per cm²Passage After Thawing: P2Tested Markers: CD90 positiveGuaranteed population doublings: >15

Quality

Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of Human Fibroblasts. They are tested for cell morphology, adherence rate and cell viability. Flow cytometric analyses of the fibroblast specific antigen CD90 are performed for each lot. Growth performance is tested through multiple passages up to 10 or 15 population doublings (PD) under culture conditions without antibiotics and antimycotics. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).

Warning

Although tested negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1 and HTLV-2, the cells – like all products of human origin – should be handled as potentially infectious. No test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
