Chicken Fallopian Tube Epithelial Cells

Research on the Chicken Oviduct Epithelial Cells is essential to the study of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infection, egg peritonitis, salpingitis, oviductal adenocarcinoma (common in laying hens), and shell gland dysfunction. The fallopian tubes are paired ducts that connect the ovaries to the uterus. Their primary function includes transporting oocytes, providing the site for fertilization, and delivering the zygote to the uterus for implantation. Obstruction or dysfunction of the fallopian tube can lead to infertility or an ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, the fallopian tubes are a common target for surgical sterilization procedures, such as tubal ligation, to prevent pregnancy. The Chicken Oviduct Epithelial Cells are to be used with Chicken Fallopian Tube Epithelial Cell Medium (Cat. No. ACM0961). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
