HPF-C

Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

Application

Primary Human Pulmonary Fibroblasts (HPF) are isolated from human lung tissue and are provided in a cryopreserved format. They are often used for studying lung tissue repair, tissue remodeling after injury, or the response after pulmonary inflammation. Fibroblast disorders like pulmonary fibrosis or hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension can also be investigated with cultured HPF.

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.
