Rat Primary Tracheal Epithelial Cells from AcceGen are isolated from tissue of 1-day-old neonatal laboratory SpragueDawley Rats. Rat Primary Tracheal Epithelial Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 0.5 hour and incubated in AcceGen's Cell Culture Medium for 3-5 days. Cells are detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in VIals. Each VIal contains 1X10^6 cells and is delIVered frozen.Rat Primary Tracheal Epithelial Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibodies of E-cadherin or ZO-1. Rat Primary Tracheal 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 under the cell culture conditions specified by AcceGen. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.Standard biochemical procedures performed with epithelial cell cultures include the assays of cell to cell adhesion and migration, RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent staining or immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derIVatIVes for desired research applications.
