Bovine Oral Fibroblasts
Bovine Oral Fibroblasts (BOF) from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from bovine fetal oral tissue. BOF are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 105 cells in 1 ml volume.
Fibroblasts are mesenchymal cells derived from the embryonic mesoderm. They have been extensively used for a wide range of cellular and molecular studies as they are one of easiest types of cells to grow in culture. Oral fibroblasts serve as the principal cell type in the lamina propria of the mucosa, secreting non-rigid extracellular matrix composed of collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans. Helping to regenerate the stable fibrillar connection between the tooth root, the gingiva, and the periodontal ligament, oral fibroblasts play an essential role during periodontal wound healing. Cultured Bovine Oral Fibroblasts (BOF) are a useful in vitro model to study the mechanisms of wound healing, toxicity or biocompatibility assays, or to model cytokine responses to pathogens.
BOF from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from bovine fetal oral tissue. BOF are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 105 cells in 1 ml volume. BOF are characterized by immunofluorescence with an antibody specific to fibronectin. BOF are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. BDF are guaranteed to further expand for 5 population doublings under the conditions provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories.
Recommended Medium
It is recommended to use Fibroblast Medium (FM, Cat. #2301) for culturing BOF in vitro.
