Human Tracheal Epithelial Cells (HTEpC) are derived from the surface epithelium of normal human 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.
