Product Description
Lifeline® Normal Human Primary Mammary Epithelial Cells (HMEC) – Male, when grown in MammaryLife™ Mammary Epithelial Medium, provide an ideal serum-free culture model for the study of breast cancer development, three dimensional culture, carcinogen screening and other areas of breast research.
- Primary Mammary Cells are directly cultured from their source organ tissue and have not been modified in any way.
- Primary Epithelial Cells can come from many donors without the accumulated mutations of immortal cell lines.
Primary Male 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 HMEC are a mixed culture of epithelial cells bearing positive markers such as Cytokeratin 14 (myoepithelial), Cytokeratin 8/18 (luminal), and Cytokeratin 19 (luminal subpopulation).
