Bovine Alveolar Type II (BATII) cell line
Invented by Diane Lee at University of Surrey
Catalogue Number | 157737 |
Tissue | Alveolus |
Model | Immortalised Line |
Relevance | Differentiates into Alveolar Type I (ATI)-like cells when cultured at air-liquid interface, generating a mixed population of Alveolar Type II (ATII) and ATI in a pseudostratified epithelial cell layer. Used in co-culture with bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells as a model of the bovine alveolus. |
Production Details | Generated by the lentiviral transduction of Bmi1 and hTERT into primary bovine alveolar type II epithelial cells at passage 1. Proliferation rate as for primary. |
Research Area | Immunology, Other |
Growth/Phenotype Keywords | Cobblestone. Fixed (2D), 3D (matrigel) or air-liquid interface (ALI) |
Recommended Growing Conditions | Small airway growth medium (Lonza) or Small airway epithelial cell medium (Promocell). 95 % air/5 % CO2, 37oC humidified incubator. Subculture routine: 0.25 % trypsin/1 mM EDTA 5 minutes at 37oC. Neutralise with medium/10 % FBS. Spin, count and subculture ΒΌ dilution to minimum of 3 x 10,000/cm2. Yield at subculture: ~5 x 10,000/cm2. |
