Pure and Potent Human Primary Retinal Pigment Endothelial Cells (HRPES)

Culture Ready
Neuromics is a recognized leader in providing researchers 21-CFR Compliant Primary Human Cells.

Here we feature our new Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cell (HRPES). These hard to find cells are reasonably priced and culture ready,

HRPES in Culture

Cells are provided at passage 3. HRPEs growth medium (contains 10% serum and growth supplements, Alpha-33) is recommended for cell culture and these cells have a minimum average population doubling capacity of 8 when cultured following the detailed protocol.

ATP and Pain

P2XRs Play a Key Role
In dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, ATP is an important neurotransmitter in nociceptive signaling through P2 receptors (P2Rs) such as P2X2/3R, and adenosine is also involved in anti-nociceptive signaling through adenosine A1R.

ENNPs interact with P2XRs to metabolize ATP to AMP in DRGs. Kentaro Nishida, Yuka Nomura, Kanako Kawamori, Akihiro Ohishi, Kazuki Nagasawa. ATP metabolizing enzymes ENPP1, 2 and 3 are localized in sensory neurons of rat dorsal root ganglion. European Journal of Histochemistry 2018; 62:2877.

Modulating ATP Processing in DRGs could prove a target for pain therapies.

Long Term Culturing of Cells

Non-Perfusion Model
Researchers, for some studies, are demanding the ability to maintain vibrant cultures for long periods of time.

Perfusion models afford this, but are expensive, sensitive and require specialized expertise. Given this, I believed it a good time to represent a protocol that can be used for our primary neurons and can be extrapolated to many of our other primary and stem cells.

Here's the complete protocol.
