Product Overview

Cryopreserved Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes Neonatal 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.

  • Protective barrier: Keratinocytes were stimulated with histamine or histamine receptor ligands to show the formation of a defective skin barrier. Gschwandtner M, Mildner M,  Mlitz V,  Gruber F,  Eckhart L, Werfel T, Gutzmer R, Elias PM and Tschachler E.  Histamine suppresses epidermal keratinocyte differentiation and impairs skin barrier function in a human skin model.

  • Cancer: Keratinocytes were used in this study to demonstrate that dysregulated activation of type I interferon innate immunity is implicated in the molecular processes triggered by anti-EGFR drugs and leading to persistent skin inflammation. Carrie HS, Hong Y, Yunbo L, Jennifer SM, Sridevi B, Gaylene S, Judith AC and Thomas RS.  EGF receptor signaling blocks aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated transcription and cell differentiation in human epidermal keratinocytes.

  • 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. Expression of betapapillomavirus oncogenes increases the number of keratinocytes with stem cell-like properties. Journal of Virology (2013); 87(22): 12158-12165.
