Scientific resources

CnT-PR-AD is used for differentiating airway epithelial cells that have been expanded in CnT-PR-A or CnT-17 medium. It results from the evolution and refinement of our previous airway differentiation medium CnT-23.

CnT-PR-AD is a chemically defined medium formulation designed for optimal differentiation of primary large airway epithelial cells in 2D or 3D culture. It is completely free of animal or human-derived components. It contains a specifically tailored mix of growth factors, in which proliferative components that retard differentiation are omitted or reduced, and pro-differentiation components are added. It does not contain phenol-red or antibiotics / antimycotics.

It uses an optimized basal medium with additional trace elements, protective antioxidants, and vitamins. This medium is specifically designed to create an environment conducive to full differentiation. It achieves this by omitting PCT growth factors or other proliferative factors that retard differentiation.

CnT-PR-AD medium is a low-calcium formulation. Calcium is known to contribute to the differentiation of confluent epithelial cells. It is recommended to add calcium once the cells are fully confluent – please see our corresponding differentiation protocol for our recommendations.

The medium undergoes a range of QC tests in our lab before being released for sale. Please see the datasheet for details. It can easily be upgraded for clinical applications. Contact us at support@cellntec.com for further details and pricing.
