Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells (HBEpC/HTEpC), are derived from the surface epithelium of normal human bronchi. Cells 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 pH, the stimulant effect of IL-1b on airway epithelial cell growth, and the effect of human rhinovirus infection in terms of upregulation of ICAM-1 expression on epithelial cells.

Storage
Cells are cryopreserved immediately after purification and delivered on dry ice.
Place cryovials immediately in liquid nitrogen upon arrival.
Store the growth medium at 4°C in the dark.
Store the subculture reagent at -20°C upon receipt and at 4°C upon thawing.
