Pig Tumor Cells
Pig-derived tumor and transformed cell models are often employed in veterinary medicine, infectious disease research, immunology, and translational biomedical research. Due to the striking parallels of pig and human physiology and immunological responses pig cell models are growing in popularity for studying host-pathogen interactions, mucosal biology, inflammation and drug discovery.
Our collection of pig tumor cells includes commonly used models such as AM-C6SC8, IPEC-J2 and 3D4/21 that are useful for various uses in intestinal biology, respiratory illness research, innate immunity, virology, toxicology and medication evaluation. These pig cell lines are reliable in vitro systems for veterinary and comparative biomedical research.

FAQ
Why are porcine cell models useful for biomedical research?
Pigs have significant physiological, anatomical and immunological parallels with humans and, thus, pig cell models are extremely useful in translational investigations of infection, inflammation, toxicity and medication development.
What are IPEC-J2 cells commonly used for?
IPEC-J2 cells are frequently utilized as a non-transformed pig intestinal epithelial model to study intestinal barrier function, nutrition transport, microbial interactions, inflammation and gut health. They are often used in the fields of microbiology, toxicity and feed research.
Can pig tumor and transformed cells be used in virology research?
Yes. Porcine cell models are commonly employed in virology research of swine diseases and zoonotic viruses. These cells are used for the study of viral replication, immunological response, antiviral screening and vaccine related studies.
Can drug screening and toxicity studies be performed using these porcine cell lines?
Definitely. Porcine epithelial and macrophages models are widely used for cytotoxicity testing, permeability testing, evaluation of inflammatory response, and screening of medicinal compounds due to their physiological relevance and consistent growth behavior.
Are the cell lines authenticated and tested for contamination?
Yes. Our porcine cell lines undergo routine quality control procedures, including mycoplasma testing, to help ensure reliable and reproducible experimental performance.
How are pig tumor cells shipped and stored?
Cells are typically supplied as cryopreserved cultures and shipped on dry ice. Long-term storage in liquid nitrogen is recommended after receipt to maintain viability and phenotypic stability.
