The A549 Cell Lysate originates from a human alveolar basal epithelial cell line, commonly utilized in research focused on pulmonary biology. This lysate is derived from cells first isolated in 1972 from the lung tissue of a 58-year-old Caucasian male. The utility of the A549 lysate in research stems from its ability to model the cellular environment of lung epithelial cells, offering crucial insights into cellular processes such as gas exchange, fluid balance, and response to pathogens. Researchers employ this lysate to study gene expression and protein networks involved in respiratory physiology and responses to environmental stresses. In molecular biology, the A549 lysate provides a valuable reference material for protein identification and quantification, enabling scientists to perform comparative analyses and validate experimental findings related to cellular responses under various conditions. Its use in proteomics, particularly through techniques like Western blotting and mass spectrometry, helps in elucidating protein-protein interactions and signaling pathways. Additionally, the lysate serves as a critical component in studies exploring the effects of pollutants, allergens, and other airborne substances on lung cells, contributing significantly to our understanding of respiratory health and disease mechanisms at the molecular level.
