Animal Primary Cells
Feline Skeletal Muscle Cells (FSkMC)

 

Feline Skeletal Muscle Cells (FSkMC) are isolated from the limbal skeletal muscle. They are cryopreserved at second passage and can be cultured and propagated for at least 15 population doublings. Muscle diseases can occur in cats with clinical presentations resembling human disorders, and thus the feline system can be a valuable intermediate disease model1,2,3. ATP concentration and hypoxia have been studied in feline skeletal muscle4,5.  

Each lot tested negative for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, fungi.
