PneumaCult™-ALI-S Medium (Catalog #05050) is a serum- and BPE-free medium for the culture of human small airway epithelial cells at the air-liquid interface (ALI). Small airway epithelial cells cultured in PneumaCult™-ALI-S Medium undergo extensive mucociliary differentiation to form a cuboidal epithelium that exhibits morphological and functional characteristics similar to those of the human small airway in vivo.
Together, PneumaCult™-ALI-S Medium and PneumaCult™-Ex Plus Medium (#05040) constitute a fully integrated BPE-free culture system for in vitro human small airway modeling. This robust and defined system is a valuable tool for basic respiratory research, toxicity studies, and drug development.
Advantages: • Human small airway epithelial cells (HSAEC) cultured in PneumaCult™-ALI-S undergo extensive mucociliary differentiation to form a cuboidal epithelium that closely resembles the small airway epithelium • PneumaCult™-ALI-S is serum-free and BPE-free to minimize variability • PneumaCult™-ALI-S and PneumaCult™-Ex Plus constitute a complete, optimized system for expansion, maintenance, and differentiation of HSAEC
