C57BL/6 Mouse Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells, derived from C57BL/6 mouse lungs, comprise a minor fraction (2-5%) of the lung’s internal surface yet play crucial roles. Responsible for producing, secreting, and recycling pulmonary surfactant, they maintain pulmonary fluid equilibrium by regulating active Na+ transport. Beyond these physiological functions, they function as a frontline defense within the lungs, initiating and modulating immune responses during pulmonary infections or allergies. These cells also display regenerative capabilities, acting as progenitors in the distal lung, capable of repairing the epithelium following injury. Notably, in response to pulmonary vaccinia virus infection, they trigger IFN-β and IFN-stimulated genes through MDA5 and STING-mediated nucleic acid-sensing pathways, contributing to immune responses and feedback loops.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
C57BL/6 Type II Mouse Alveolar Epithelial Cells (AECIIs) are essential tools for in vitro investigations into lung diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and lung injury, offering insights into alveolar epithelium regeneration. With high purity and viability, these cells are suitable for genomic, proteomic analyses, and ex vivo culturing to unravel their contributions across biological processes. They are particularly useful in studying how lung AECIIs’ innate immune sensing safeguards against viral infections, enhancing our understanding of defense mechanisms against pathogens.
