Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells?

  Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells are cells isolated from endometriosis tissue, a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside the uterus. These cells play a critical role in studying the pathology and treatment of endometriosis.

• How many cells are provided in each vial of Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells?

  Each vial of Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells contains 0.5 million (500,000) cells. These cells are cryopreserved at passage 1, ensuring their viability and quality for research purposes.

• What are the key characteristics of Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells?

  Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells express Vimentin, a type of intermediate filament protein that is often used as a marker for mesenchymal cells. They can be expanded for 6-8 passages under the recommended conditions provided by AcceGen, making them suitable for various experimental applications.

• Why are Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells useful for research?

  These cells are useful for research because they allow scientists to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying endometriosis. They provide a valuable model for investigating the disease’s pathology, testing potential treatments, and understanding how endometriotic cells behave and interact with their environment.

• What culture conditions are suggested for Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells?

  AcceGen provides specific recommendations for the culture conditions required to expand Human Endometriotic Epithelial Cells for 6-8 passages. Following these suggested conditions is crucial for maintaining the cells’ health and functionality, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in research studies.
