Cell/Tissue Derived Products
RNA
High quality RNA is available from cultured adipocytes, preadipocytes, whole adipose tissue, adipocyte ("floaters"), primary hepatocytes and various tissues. The RNA is from healthy or type II diabetic donors. Donor information including age, sex, and body mass index will be included with your order. We can accommodate many special requests.
Cell Extracts
Total protein extracts have been prepared from cultured subcutaneous and omental preadipocytes and adipocytes. These protein extracts are suitable for Western blotting, ELISA assays or immunoprecipitation.
Flash Frozen Tissue Samples
Adipose tissue samples (one gram) from both subcutaneous and omental depots are flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and can be used for subsequent cellular, biochemical and/or genetic analysis.
Flash Frozen Floaters
Primary adipocytes or floaters are isolated from adipose tissue during the initial processing of tissue. These floaters have been flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and can be used for cell extract applications. Please note that the cells lyse upon freezing and can not be cultured.
Slides
Subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue from a variety of donors have been formalin fixed and embedded in paraffin. Tissue has been sectioned into 0.2 µM sections onto slides. These slides are suitable for a variety of histological applications.
Conditioned Media
Conditioned media from cultured subcutaneous and omental preadipocytes and adipocytes are available in 10 ml aliquots. The cells are incubated with serum and phenol red free basal medium for 24 hours. Supernatants are collected and flash frozen. These preparations are suitable for a variety of assays.
All of these products can also be prepared after exposure to compound. Please call for additional information.
