Corning® Gentest? Fresh Human Hepatocytes - 1

Corning® Gentest™ Fresh Human Hepatocytes Hepatocytes in plates, sandwich culture, and suspension Corning offers a full portfolio of fresh hepatocytes in plates, sandwich culture, and suspension to support drug metabolism and transport studies. High-quality Corning Gentest fresh hepatocytes maintain morphology and function for long-term assays, such as enzyme induction, toxicity, metabolism of stable compounds, and drug transporter assays. Corning Gentest hepatocytes cultured on Collagen I with a Corning Matrigel® overlay in a sandwich culture form an in vivo-like hepatobiliary network that is critical for studying hepatic uptake and biliary efflux transporter activity. Compared to Collagen I surfaces alone, the Corning Matrigel overlay creates a more physiological-like environment, maintains hepatocyte-specific morphology, and improves basal and induced CYP450 activities. Supports ADME assays, such as metabolism, induction, transport, and toxicity requiring cultured human plateable hepatocytes Supports short-term ADME assays in suspension, such as metabolic stability and uptake transporter studies Saves researchers time with premade, ready-to-use hepatocyte cultures on Collagen I-coated plates with, or without, Corning Matrigel overlay Enables high throughput screening for discovery and development of drug candidates Corning Collagen I substratum with Corning Matrigel overlay – Improves cell health with increased basal and induced CYP450 Corning Matrigel Overlay Promotes a More In Vivo-like Environment The Corning Matrigel overlay improves basal activities for CYP450 activities compared to the conventional Collagen I coated surface. Corning Matrigel overlay improves both basal and induced CYP3A4 activity of human fresh hepatocytes (Corning fresh hepatocyte lot 323 cultured on Corning BioCoat Collagen I plates) – Supports bile canaliculi formation for efflux drug transport studies – Maintains typical hepatocyte morphology longer than a Collagen I Fresh hepatocytes can be cultured for more than one week, which makes them ideal for studies requiring longer culture times, such as induction, efflux transport, and toxicity assays. Multiple Formats Provide Researchers with Flexibility Corning’s portfolio of fresh hepatocytes includes flasks and 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 well plates. These formats are available with Corning BioCoat™ Collagen I as a substratum with, or without, Corning Matrigel overlay.
