Human alveolar macrophages from lung tissue

Human alveolar macrophages from lung tissue are essential for respiratory research, particularly in studies of immune response and pathogen defense. These cells express CD11b and are cryopreserved to maintain viability. Researchers use them for gene expression, morphology, and physiological analysis. Proper handling—such as avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles—is crucial to preserve cell integrity and ensure reliable experimental outcomes in pulmonary and infectious disease models.
