  • Name: BMI-1 1 Cell Line
  • Alternate name: Polycomb complex protein BMI-1, polycomb group RING finger protein 4; PCGF4; RING finger protein 51; RNF51; B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1; BMI-1; FLVI2/PCGF4; Mo-MLV; Moloney murine leukemia virus; NHBEC; Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells; pLVX-BMI-1 Cell Line: COPD, ALI; airâ?‚€?‚“liquid interface
  • Tool sub type: Primary
  • Parental cell: Human bronchial epithelial cells
  • Organism: Human
  • Gender: Male
  • Tissue: Lung
  • Donor: Male, 56 years old, Caucasian, smoker and consumed alcohol
  • Disease: Respiratory disease
  • Model: Extended Lifespan
  • Description: Primary Human bronchial epithelial cells when grown in vitro have a limited lifespan and begin to deviate both in phenotype and morphology, losing the plasticity required around passage 4 or 5, for air-liquid interface (ALI) differentiation. These Human bronchial epithelial cells expressing BMI-1 retain both viability and differentiation potential of wild-type human bronchial epithelium while importantly not demonstrating changes in cell karyotype. B lymphoma Moloney murine leukemia virus in...
  • Production details: Passage 2 heterogeneous cells were plated in a 6-well plate at 5 x 10 4 cells per well and grown overnight. Media was replaced with 800 ul of media with 2 ug/ml of polybrene and 6.25 uL of lentivirus pLVX-BmI-1 to give >90% transfection. The plates were incubated at 37Â?‚°C for 6.5 h with gentle rocking and the media replaced after 2 hours. After 72 h, selection media containing 300 ng/mL puromycin was added and cells with antibiotic resistance after 6 days of selection were considered to...
  • Biosafety level: 1
  • Additional notes: Cells were fixed for immunostaining, histology sectioning, and scanning electron microscopy after 28 days at ALI.
