MDCK (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney) cell lysate is derived from a canine kidney epithelial cell line widely used in biological research to study cellular processes such as polarity, ion transport, and virus-host interactions. The lysate is particularly valuable for its role in investigating the mechanisms of epithelial barrier function and transport properties, which are essential for understanding fluid and electrolyte balance in tissues. Researchers utilize MDCK cell lysate in studies of transcellular and paracellular transport mechanisms, analyzing the role of tight junction proteins like claudins and occludins. This lysate also serves as a model for studying viral entry, replication, and pathogenesis, especially for influenza and coronavirus, providing insights into how viruses exploit host cellular machinery for their lifecycle. In addition, the MDCK lysate has been instrumental in the development of advanced drug delivery systems, where it is used to assess the permeability of pharmaceutical compounds across epithelial barriers. By providing a consistent and reproducible model, MDCK cell lysate aids in elucidating complex signaling pathways and cellular behaviors, enhancing our understanding of kidney and epithelial cell function strictly within research environments.
