Description
Human Urethral Epithelial Cell Media is an optimized, serum-free formulation designed to support the attachment, viability, and proliferation of primary human urethral epithelial cells in vitro.
The urethra is a tubular conduit that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior and, in males, also serves as a passageway for semen. Its epithelial lining varies along its length and between anatomical regions, including urothelial, pseudostratified or stratified columnar, and stratified squamous areas. In males, the urethra extends through the prostate, pelvic floor, and penis. In females, the shorter urethra lies anterior to and in close anatomical association with the anterior vaginal wall.
Urethral epithelial cells form a protective mucosal barrier between the urinary tract and the external environment. They contribute to tissue protection, barrier integrity, and innate host defense by sensing microbial or tissue-associated signals and, where appropriately induced, producing antimicrobial factors and inflammatory mediators. These mechanisms, together with urine flow and other urinary-tract defenses, help limit microbial adherence and infection.
By providing nutrients and growth-supporting components tailored to primary human urethral epithelial cells, Human Urethral Epithelial Cell Media is intended to support cell maintenance and expansion in vitro. Cultures established with this medium may be useful for studies of epithelial biology, urological disease mechanisms, inflammation, host–microbe interactions, drug response, cytotoxicity, and tissue-engineering approaches, subject to appropriate model-specific validation.
Medium carefully optimized for the characteristics and requirements unique to Human Urethral Epithelial Cells. Attention to detail ensures ideal cell health, viability, performance, physiology, morphology, consistency and data. As with the majority of our epithelial cell media, this product contains no serum.
Use with:
EpiVita Basal Medium, used in conjunction with Human Urethral Epithelial Cell Growth Supplement, provides excellent culture conditions for HUEpC. This robust and versatile basal medium is animal origin-free, and contains essential & non-essential amino acids, vitamins, other organic compounds, trace minerals and inorganic salts. Available only from Cell Applications, top-performing EpiVita Basal Medium (plus supplement), outperforms competitor formulations by a wide margin. Manufactured in a GMP certified facility, EpiVita is an ideal choice for fundamental life science studies, pharmaceutical drug discovery & toxicity assay, and translational research aimed at taking discoveries from the bench to the clinic.
Details
CAI media are tested for sterility in order to confirm no bacteria, yeast or fungi contaminate the solutions. The products undergo further quality control for correct pH, osmolality and lack of endotoxins. A panel of different bioassays affirm the media sustain a proper environment for expected cell-type-specific culture, growth, plating, karyotype, physiology, morphology, viability, population doublings, surface markers, cryopreservation, differentiation and/or induction.
Laboratory research use only (RUO). Not for human, clinical, diagnostic or veterinary use.
