- Product Code: RD-6048
- Availability: In Stock
Product Description
ZDF Rat Diabetic Corneal Epithelial Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from Corneal tissue of male, 9 week old laboratory ZDF rat. 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, following the application of magnetic beads pre-coated with secondary antibody.
Product Testing
ZDF Rat Diabetic Corneal Epithelial Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent staining with antibody of E-cadherin (Anti-E-Cadherin Antibody, sc-8426, from Santa Cruz) or ZO-1 (Anti-ZO-1 Antibody, MABT11, clone R40.76, from Millipore). Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded for 3-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.
Laboratory Applications
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.
