Aged Rat Primary Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from proximal tubular tissue of 2-year old laboratory SpragueDawley rat. Aged Rat Primary Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics Cell Culture Medium for 3-5 days. Cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x106 cells and is delivered frozen. The method we use to isolate primary epithelial cells was developed based on a combination of established and our proprietary methods. These cells are pre-coated with EpCAM (CD326) antibody, followed by the application of magnetic beads pre-coated with secondary antibody.
Cell Origin

Cell Type
Epithelial Cells
Application
Standard biochemical procedures performed with epithelial cell cultures include the assay of cell-cell interaction, adhesion, PCR, Western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent flow cytometry, or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
Disclaimer
Investigators should handle the cells that they receive from Cell Biologics with caution and treat all animal cells as potential pathogens, since no test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
Frozen
0.5×106cells
General Information
Aged Rat Primary Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibody of E-cadherin (Anti-E-Cadherin Antibody, sc-8426, Santa Cruz) or ZO-1 (Anti-ZO-1 Antibody, MABT11, clone R40.76, Millipore). Aged Rat Primary Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-7 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
