Cystic Fibrosis CFPEo Transfection Kit

Description

The CFPEo cell line is a human epithelial cell line that was originally derived from the lung of a patient with cystic fibrosis. It is widely used as an in vitro model to study the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the function of chloride channels in epithelial cells, leading to the accumulation of thick mucus in the lungs and other organs.

CFPEo cells have been extensively characterized and exhibit many of the features observed in cystic fibrosis patients, including reduced chloride secretion, altered ion transport, and increased mucus production. As such, the CFPEo cell line is a valuable tool for investigating the mechanisms underlying the disease, as well as for developing and testing potential therapies. Moreover, because CFPEo cells are derived from human tissue, they provide a more relevant model for studying human disease than traditional animal models. In order to facilitate in-depth research, a specific and efficient cell transfection system is essential. To this end, CD BioSciences has developed a specific transfection kit for the CFPEo cell line.
