Beschreibung

General description

Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details.
Our HBSMC are now also available from HLA-typed and COPD/Asthma donors.

Application

Primary Human Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells (HBSMC) are isolated from the bronchi from single donors and are provided in a cryopreserved format. HBSMC stain positive for smooth muscle α-actin. They connect the endings of the bronchial cartilage and consequently regulate the airway lumen. Under pathological conditions like asthma, the amount of smooth muscle cells in the bronchi walls is increased leading to smooth muscle hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Hence, HBSMC are suitable for in vitro studies of asthma and other pulmonary diseases.

Analysis Note

Rigid quality control tests are performed for each lot of Human Smooth Muscle Cells. They are tested for cell morphology, adherence rate, and cell viability. Flow cytometric analyses for cell-type specific markers, e.g. smooth muscle a-actin, are carried out for each lot. Growth performance is tested through multiple passages up to 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).
