A549 cells are adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells, and constitute a cell line that was first developed in 1972 by D. J. Giard, et al. through the removal and culturing of cancerous lung tissue in the explanted tumor of a 58-year-old caucasian male. [1]
A549 cells share the same characteristics with the alveolar type II cells. This are type II pneumocytes crucial for lung homeostasis, and regeneration upon damage. For research purposes to unravel different molecular mechanisms leading to lung diseases, A549 cells serves as a good model to which translational research can be relied upon.
