Human Primary Tonsil Epithelial Cells

Cell Details

The tonsil is a pair of flat, oval-shaped lymphoid organs located in the tonsil socket. The anterior and posterior part of the tonsil is covered by a sublingual arch, and the uncovered portion at the upper end is surrounded by a tonsil body capsule composed of connective tissue, which is connected to the pharyngeal muscle only by loose connective tissue.

The tonsil fibroblasts are mainly located in the tonsil capsule, which is a dense connective tissue that separates the tonsil tonsils from adjacent organs and acts as a barrier to the spread of the tonsil infection.

Cell Characteristics

1) The cells are derived from normal human tonsil tissue.

2) Cell identification: Fibronectin or vimentin is positive for immunofluorescence staining.

3) The purity of the identified cells is higher than 90%.

4) Does not contain HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi.

5) Cell growth mode: long spindle cells, adherent culture.

Transportation and Preservation

Depending on the weather conditions and the distance of transportation, the company negotiates with the customer and chooses one of the following methods.

1) 1mL of frozen cell suspension is placed in a 1.8mL cryotube and placed in a foam incubator filled with dry ice for transport; after receiving the cells, thaw the resuscitated cells as soon as possible for culture. If resuscitation is not possible immediately, Cryopreserved cells can be stored at -80°C for 1 month.
2) T-25 culture flask is filled with complete medium and then transported at room temperature. After receiving the cells, please observe the growth state of the cells under a microscope. If the bottle filling rate exceeds 85%, please carry out the subculture immediately. If there are more cells in suspension, allow the flask to stand overnight in the incubator to help the undead suspension cells to reattach.
