Renal Cell Culture
Our renal cell culture portfolio features primary human epithelial cells isolated from the adult kidney of individual donors. Reliable cell culture performance is ensured by our low-serum Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium 2.
Renal epithelial cells
PromoCell offers renal epithelial cells isolated from the renal cortex or the entire kidney of single adult donors. Our Human Renal Cortical Epithelial Cells are isolated from the cortex of the human kidney and containing the renal corpuscles, proximal and distal convoluted tubules, and cortical collecting ducts. In contrast, our Renal Epithelial Cells are isolated from whole kidneys and also contain epithelial cells from the renal medulla.
Quality control
Each produced lot is tested for cytokeratin expression as well as growth performance through multiple passages up to 15 population doublings (PD) under culture conditions without antibiotics and antimycotics. In addition, all cells have been tested for the absence of HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, HTLV-1, HTLV-2 and microbial contaminants (fungi, bacteria, and mycoplasma).
