How is the disease state for Lonzas diseased airway cells determined?

The tissue received for all of Lonza’s diseased airway cells are obtained from donors which were diagnosed by an accredited physician prior to death. Frequently, Lonza will obtain information on medications taken related to the disease which will...

What medium do you recommend for the diseased airway cells?

The recommended medium for diseased cells is the same as for normal cells. BEGM™ for Diseased Bronchial Epithelial Cells, some lots are guaranteed in B-ALI™ Media. SmGM™-2 Medium is recommended for Diseased Bronchial Smooth Muscle Cells. FGM™-2...



What age are the rats that your Clonetics Rat DRGs are isolated from?

The Rat Neonatal Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Neurons (R-DRG-505) are isolated from neonatal, about 2-3 days old.The Rat Embryonic Dorsal Root Ganglion (eDRG) Neurons (R-eDRG-515) are isolated from embryonic rats (E14-15).

What growth factor is pertinent in chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells?

TGF-B3 has worked best in our hands so that is what we recommend.

Do I need to use a gelatin, fibronectin, collagen, or Matrigel coating when culturing my Clonetics Cells?

Most Clonetics™ Cells do not require an extracellular matrix when grown on tissue culture treated plastic – flasks, dishes, well plates (with the exception of hepatocytes, and the rat/mouse neuronal and dorsal root ganglion neurons, rat cardiac...

What medium and which cytokines are recommended for Natural Killer (NK) cell culture?

For the cultivation of Natural Killer (NK) cells we recommend using the X-VIVO 15 medium.In regard to cytokines, this varies depending upon the application, but many cited publications indicate using IL-2 for activation and longer term culture.

Should any type of extracellular matrix be used when growing undifferentiated hMSC's (human Mesenchymal Stem Cells)?

That will depend on the type of medium used. If you are using our MSCGM™ BulletKit™ PT-3001, we do not recommend using a matrix with the cells as it might induce differentiation and make the cells difficult to detach from the culture vessel. If you...

I've had my Clonetics Cells in culture for a few months, they're no longer growing and don't look like healthy cells, what's wrong?

All Clonetics™ Cells are primary cells with a finite life span. Most Clonetics™ Cells are guaranteed for 10 – 15 additional population doublings, which equates to about 2 – 3 passages. As cell death begins to occur, morphology and cell performance...
