Dear Hugh, Thank you so much

It is highly depending on the type of research you are doing: cancer ? Pulmonary disease ? etc...

Normal cells include fibroblasts, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, etc...

Here attached you have some examples of the type of "normal" lung cells we used in our cancer-related experiments.

Best regards

Robert

L132, MRC-5 or primary cells from Rat species...

L-132 cells are actually a HeLa derivative and MRC-5 are fibroblasts. We use both BEAS-2B and primary airway cells as pulmonary epithelial controls.

HEL-299, MRC-9, WI-38 these are normal fibroblast cells.
