Normal Human Mammary Epithelial Cells – Female

Product Description

Lifeline^® Primary Normal Human Mammary (Breast) Epithelial Cells (HMEC) – female, when grown in Lifeline MammaryLife™ Mammary Epithelial Medium, provide an ideal serum-free culture model for the study of the stages of breast cancer development, three dimensional culture, carcinogen screening, and other areas of breast research.

• Primary Mammary Epithelial Cells are directly cultured from their source organ tissue and have not been modified in any way. This helps avoid altering the outcome of your experiments.
• Your research outcomes will be more representative of the general population, because our Primary cells can come from many donors without the accumulated mutations found in immortal cell lines.

Lifeline Female Mammary Cells have been isolated, plated, and expanded in culture vessels three times before being harvested for cryopreservation to ensure the highest viability and plating efficiency.

Our HMEC are quality tested in MammaryLife Medium to ensure optimal morphology and growth over a period of at least 15 population doublings. Lifeline Primary Female Mammary Cells are a mixed culture of epithelial cells bearing positive markers such as Cytokeratin 14 (myoepithelial), Cytokeratin 8/18 (luminal), and Cytokeratin 19 (luminal subpopulation).
