Description

Product Description

Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are believed to be the key effector cells in renal fibrogenesis responsible for the synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix components [1]. Although fibroblasts are histologically visible in normal kidneys, there are relatively few of them and proximal tubular epithelial cells predominate. In progressive disease, however, the interstitium becomes filled with myofibroblasts [2]. Fibroblasts are considered the primary matrix-producing cells in the kidney and hence they are clinically relevant as principal mediators of renal fibrosis associated with progressive renal failure [3].

iXCells Biotechnologies provides high quality Human Renal Fibroblasts, which are isolated from adult human lung tissue and cryopreserved at P1, with >0.5 million cells in each vial. Human Renal Fibroblasts express fibronectin and are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. They can further expand no more than 3 passages in Fibroblast Growth Medium (Cat# MD-0011) under the condition suggested by iXCells Biotechnologies.
