| Description | Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (HBEpC) provide for the study of various aspects of epithelial function and disease, especially those related to airway virus infection, as well as tissue repair mechanisms, signal changes, and potential treatments related to lung injury, machinery, and oxidation. An excellent model system for stress, inflammation, lung disease, and smoking. When grown on an insert with a liquid/air interface, HBEpC can differentiate into the pseudo-striated epithelium and can be used as a more physiological 3D tissue model for in vitro studies. Culture the HBEpC (L) shown here and immunolabeled against cytokeratin 18 (R). |
