I am looking for commercially available upper respiratory bovine epithelial cells (nasal, pharynx, but not lungs) that express tight junctions. Any leads to where I might be able to source these cells? I need it for my research. Thank you.
You may get in touch with the authors of the research paper attached below.
The investigators established and characterized bovine primary respiratory epithelial cells from nasal turbinate, soft palate, and trachea of the same calf.
Bovine primary nasal turbinate and soft palate epithelial cells represent the upper respiratory tract, while bovine primary tracheal epithelial cells are from the lower respiratory tract. All three cell lines were characterized for epithelial cell-specific phenotypes including polarization potential and formation of tight junctions.
