BBB Kit™ ( MBT-24H ) / ( MBT-24F )*

For Drug BBB Permeability Study ( from micromolecules to cells )


BBB Kit™ (MBT-24) is a new in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) made of primary cultures of monkey (Macaca irus) brain capillary endothelial cells, brain pericytes and astrocytes. BBB Kit™ (MBT-24) with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane is a ready-to-use concept for your evaluations of BBB-permeability of drugs and drug candidates.
 BBB Kit™ (MBT-24H) is a 12-well format constructed in a 24-well plate with cellQART® cell culture inserts.
( *On-Demand Product - MBT-24F )

*Brain capillary endothelial cells are isolated from monkey (Macaca irus) brain, and brain pericytes and astrocytes are from rat (Wistar rat) brain.
BBB Kit™ (MBT-24H) is constructed in 12 wells (B and C) with cellQART®  Cell Culture Insert (#9320402) in a 24-well plate. [ H = Half ]
*For evaluating the permeability of a molecule through the brain endothelial and pericytes layers of BBB Kit™ in blood-to-brain direction, the molecule is applied to the upper compartment of the insert. Our calculation of apparent permeability is Papp.
**Cells within BBB Kit™ (MBT-24) are not clearly seen by microscopic observations.
***PT membrane hardly absorbs chemicals.

We deliver the complete set of BBB Kit™ (MBT-24H) in frozen packaged with dry ice.
BBB Kit™ can be frozon as a whole and stored at -80℃. We gurantee to use BBB Kit (MBT-24H) within 1 month.

Trans Endothelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) of BBB Kit ™ (MBT-24H)
TEER in BBB Kit™ (MBT-24H) reaches more than 150 Ω x cm2, and maintains a plateau up to 6 days. (Medium does not contain cAMP and its analogs.) TEER is measured at Day 3 after changing medium. BBB Kit™ (MBT-24H) can be used from Day 4 to Day 6 after thawing.
