Human Thymic Epithelial Cells, Passage 1

Cryopreserved Primary Cells, Single Donor

Thymic epithelial cells (TyEpiC) are vital regulators of thymocyte development and T lymphocyte (T-cell) tolerance. The thymus contains two types of TyEpiC, cortical and medullary thymic epithelial cells, which regulate the positive selection of thymocytes and the negative selection of autoreactive T-cells. The inability of TyEpiC to remove autoreactive T-cells in the thymus can affect self-tolerance and contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Studies have shown that changes in the expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor family members and transcription factors Foxn1 and autoimmune regulator (Aire) can alter the thymic microenvironment and self-tolerance. Human TyEpiC are an excellent in vitro model to study the mechanisms that modulate TyEpiC functionality and to develop targeted treatments for autoimmune disorders. (SC3910)
