Where are Lonza’s HRE Human Renal Epithelial cells CC-2556 isolated from?

Lonza’s Human Renal Epithelial (HRE) cells are an expansion of HNK (human neonatal kidney) cells. The kidneys are homogenized and the mixed population of cells are cultured in Lonza REGM™ Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium for one passage prior to...

Where are Lonza’s Normal Human Neural Progenitor (NHNP) and Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) cells isolated from?

Lonza’s Normal Human Neural Progenitor (NHNP) and Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA) cells are primarily isolated from the cerebral cortex (or forebrain from cerebral hemisphere) from fragmented fetal brain tissue (16-20 weeks old).

Where are Lonza’s RPTEC cells CC-2553 isolated from? Is Lonza certain that these cells are truly RPTEC?

Lonza’s Renal Proximal Tubule Epithelial Cells (RPTEC) are isolated from the cortex of the kidney. A characteristic of kidney cortex epithelial isolation results in a population consisting of approximately 50%- 70% RPTEC. Lonza uses a proprietary...

What is the general anatomy of the human prostate? From which portion of the human prostate are Lonza's prostate cells are derived?

The human prostate can generally be described as being glandular epithelium (parenchymal) surrounded by a fibromuscular stroma.The parenchymal portion of the prostate, or of any organ in the body, is epithelial like in nature and contains the “worker...

Can Lonza’s PrEC cells be co-cultured with Lonza’s PrSC cells?

While Lonza has never attempted to co-culture Prostate Epithelial Cells (PrEC) and Prostate Stromal Cells (PrSC) together in-house, the recommendation of Lonza Research & Development would be to plate and culture the PrEC and PrSC cells together...

Where are Lonza’s PrSC cells isolated from? What cells will be in the PrSC population?

Lonza’s Prostate Stromal Cells (PrSC) are isolated from the stroma of the prostate. Lonza’s Prostate Stromal Cells (PrSC) are a mixed population of cells, however, the majority of the cells in this population are fibroblastic in origin. It is not...

Where are Lonza’s PrEC cells isolated from?

Lonza obtains our Lonza’s Prostate Epithelial Cells (PrEC) from the glandular epithelium (parenchymal portion) of the prostate which spans the entire prostate and not from one specific region.

Where are Lonza’s PrSMC cells isolated from?

Lonza’s Prostate Smooth Muscle Cells (PrSMC) are isolated from the stroma and the vasculature of the prostate. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish between smooth muscle cells from the stroma and smooth muscle cells from the vasculature and...

Are Lonza’s melanocytes classified/categorized by the donor’s skin tone?

Lonza’s human melanocytes, both adult and neonatal, are currently only classified by the donor’s race. Lonza designates race as Caucasian (C), Black/African American (B), Asian (A), Hispanic (H), Other (O) (which can include Indian, Native American,...
