Product Description<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sertoli cells are highly specialized cells found in the testes. They played an important role in the development and maturation of sperm cells, or spermatozoa, within the testes, a process called spermatogenesis. Because Sertoli cells function largely to assist the developing sperm cells through their maturation process, they sometimes are referred to as a nurse cell of the testicles. They are part of a seminiferous tubule and helps in the process of spermatogenesis [1]<\/sup>. Sertoli cells provide immature models for a high potential of nursing purpose and supporting function for the maturity.<\/p>\n

iXCells Biotechnologies<\/strong> provides high quality Rat Sertoli Cells (RSC), which are isolated from the testes of male rats aged 19-21 days and cryopreserved at P0, with >1 million cells in each vial. RSC express Vimentin and they are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. RSCs can be maintained in Sertoli Cell Growth Medium (Cat# MD-0091<\/a>) under the condition suggested by iXCells Biotechnologies.<\/p>\n
