PACB provides primary HBE cells that are suitable for air-liquid interface studies and are guaranteed for differentiation marked by cilia formation, mucin production, and TEER levels. Cells are tested negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi, as well as for HIV, hepatitis A, B and hepatitis C.
