Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (HBEpC)

Human Tracheal Epithelial Cells (HTEpC)

Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells (HBEpC/HTEpC) are derived from the surface epithelium of normal human bronchi/trachea. They are cryopreserved at first passage and can be cultured and propagated at least 16 population doublings. Airway epithelial cells are targets in asthma, viral infection, and fibrotic lung disease. These cells have been used to study the regulation of intracellular pH¹, the stimulant effect of IL-1b on airway epithelial cell growth², and the effect of human rhinovirus infection in terms of upregulation of ICAM-1 expression on epithelial cells³.
