Isolation and expansion of primary airway epithelial cells
22 Sept 2025The burden of chronic respiratory diseases is increasing, with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and cystic fibrosis
affecting millions worldwide. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory diseases requires the use of lab models that recapitulate human airway biology. This application note outlines a full protocol for the isolation and expansion of patient-derived airway epithelial cells using PromoCell technologies.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
