Human Kidney Epithelial Cells. Structures in the kidney include the renal corpuscle comprised of a glomerulus and bowman s capsule which filters the blood and various tubules through which blood and urine pass. Human kidney epithelial cells of defined origin able to be propagated in vitro would prove valuable for studies defining the pathological and biochemical alterations of renal cell func tions in diseases and disorders of the kidney.
Epithelial cells make up the lining of many tissues in the human body. Regeneration of experimentally. Structures in the kidney include the renal corpuscle comprised of a glomerulus and bowman s capsule which filters the blood and various tubules through which blood and urine pass.
Atcc normal human primary renal proximal tubule epithelial cells when grown in renal epithelial cell basal media supplemented with renal epithelial cell growth kit components provide an ideal cell system to propagate renal epithelial cells in low serum 0 5 fbs conditions.
A wide spectrum of lethal kidney diseases involves the irreversible destruction of the tubular structures which leads to loss of renal function. Hek 293 cells have been widely used in cell biology research for many years because of their reliable growth and propensity for transfection. They are also used by the biotechnology industry to produce therapeutic proteins and viruses for g. Regeneration of experimentally.
