Immortalized CACO-2

Immortalized CACO-2 from Ace Therapeutics is a type of immortalized cell line derived from human colon carcinoma. Caco-2 cells not only are used to model the intestinal epithelial barrier but also can be used as a research barrier for the active transport of drugs. One of the most common ways Caco-2 cells are used in research is through permeability assays to study intestinal as well as blood-brain barrier permeability. Each vial contains at least 1×10^6 cells per ml and is delivered frozen.
