Characterization of Commercially Available Human Primary Alveolar Epithelial Cells

Abstract excerpt

Abstract In vitro lung research requires appropriate cell culture models that adequately mimic in vivo structure and function. Previously, researchers extensively used commercially available and easily expandable A549 and NCI-H441 cells, which replicate some but not all features of alveolar epithelial cells. Specifically, these cells are often restricted by terminally altered expression while lacking important...
