Product Overview

Description

The immortalized human corneal epithelial cell line (IM-HCEpiC) provided by Creative Biolabs was developed by using the SV40 large T antigen to immortalize primary human corneal epithelial cells.

Features

Creative Biolabs also provides optimized media and reagents for the growth of IM-HCEpC. Together, they have been quality tested and guaranteed to provide maximum performance for in vitro IM-HCEpiC cultivation.

Cell Types

Visual system-related Cells

Applications

Cell Culture

Application Notes

They are also useful tools to understand the highly integrated balance between corneal epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and cell death. The immortalized human corneal epithelial cell line also allows the establishment of in vitro models for high-throughput and high-content screening.

Mycoplasma Testing

The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.

Sterility Testing

Sterility testing was performed in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.

Genetic Stability Testing

Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.
