Infectious Disease

Airway and mucosal epithelium are the first point of contact for most respiratory and enteric pathogens. Cell Biologics supplies tracheal, alveolar, and intestinal epithelial cells across mouse and rat, suited to viral entry, mucociliary function, and barrier-integrity studies.

Pairing an epithelial line with a matched microvascular endothelial cell from the same organ (see our Vascular Research hub) supports transwell co-culture models of barrier crossing during infection.

Infectious Disease — frequently asked questions

Which epithelial cell type is best for a respiratory viral entry model?

Tracheal Epithelial Cells are the standard starting point for upper-airway entry studies; Alveolar Epithelial Cells better represent the distal lung for lower-respiratory-tract models.

Can I build a transwell barrier model with these cells?

Yes. Culture the epithelial cell on the apical side of a transwell insert; a matched microvascular endothelial cell from our Vascular Research hub can seed the basal side for a two-compartment infection or permeability model.
