Product description:
Differentiates into Alveolar Type I (ATI)-like cells when cultured at air-liquid interface, generating a mixed population of Alveolar Type II (ATII) and ATI in a pseudostratified epithelial cell layer. Used in co-culture with bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells as a model of the bovine alveolus.
Production details:
Generated by the lentiviral transduction of Bmi1 and hTERT into primary bovine alveolar type II epithelial cells at passage 1. Proliferation rate as for primary.
