Product Overview

Cryopreserved Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes are guaranteed through 18 population doublings for adult cells. All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots. A Certificate of Analysis is provided for each cell lot purchased. Normal Human Dermal fibroblasts from matched donors are available for certain lots.

Purchase our Adult Keratinocyte Cell Culture Kit (catalog no. 00192627B) and get a discounted price on cells and media. The kit consists of a cryopreserved ampule of adult keratinocytes (catalog no. 00192627) and KGMTM-Gold BulletKitTM Growth Media (catalog no. 00192060)

  • Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) mediated skin cancer response: An infection of the skin with human papillomaviruses (HPV) may result in benign tumors with limited growth, which tend to regress spontaneously and causes non-melanoma skin cancer development in epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) and immunosuppressed patients.  The present study utilized pooled keratinocytes cultured in KGMTM-Gold Medium from several healthy donors. The data showed that betaPV may increase the number of stem cell-like cells present during early carcinogenesis and thus enable the persistence and accumulation of DNA damage necessary to generate malignant stem cells. Martin H, Adrian B, Cinzia B, Marisa G, John D, Alan S, Herbert P, Ian M and Baki A.
