Popis

This novel, immortalized ecrine sweat gland myoepithelial cell line (iEM) serves as a model for research on sweat glands and sweating. These cells were developed from primary cells transduced with lentiviral vectors containing hTERT and SV40T. Cells display spheroid formation with increased population doubling compard to non-transduced cells. iEM’s express myoepithelial cell-specific proteins (a-SMA, B1 or K14) and can differentiate into luminal cells. Immortalized Sweat Gland Myoepithelial Cells provide a useful in vitro model for recapitulating eccrine sweat gland functions and for screening substances that can modulate sweating by acting on sweat glands. These cells are applicable for studies in hyperhidrosis, adiaphoresis, and sweat gland diseases. Please note: cells are exected to grow to 65 population doublings (PDs), however, the exact PD limit can vary by lot.
