Livestock Labs Bovine Fibroblasts

Livestock Labs Bovine Fibroblasts are a dermis-derived bovine fibroblast cell line established from post-mortem tissue collected after rigor. The tissue was sourced from a USDA FSIS-inspected facility and processed into primary cells by an academic cell culture facility. The donor animals were raised under an IACUC-approved protocol within an AAALAC-accredited program following Agriculture Guide standards. The cell line was subsequently engineered using HDR-mediated targeted cassette integration, incorporating an immortalization factor and pro-proliferative factors. Characterization data include growth performance, karyotype, transcriptome analysis, fibroblast-marker expression, and mycoplasma testing. Cells are supplied frozen for storage in the liquid or vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, with rapid thawing recommended by the supplier. A certificate of analysis is provided with licensing.
