Epithelial, bronchial (DHBE), human asth

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.

Human bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells are isolated from the epithelial cells that line the airway above the bifurcation of the lungs.

Cell Type:
Respiratory Tract Epith.
Tissue Origin:
lung
Species:
human
Research Area:
Cancer Research/Cell Biology
Cell Characteristics:
Adherent

Recommended Media

Airway cell media are serum-free media that have been optimized for the proliferation of airway cells.

BEGM is optimized to provide the best growth for Normal Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells.

Media developed specifically for cultivation of bronchial epithelial cells in an air-liquid interface system.

The B-ALI™ BulletKit includes:
 - B-ALI™ Growth Basal Medium (200 ml)
 - B-ALI™ Differentiation Basal Medium (500 ml)
 - B-ALI™ SingleQuots Kit
