Background |
Normal Human Epidermal Melanocytes (NHEM) are isolated from the epidermis of juvenile foreskin. Normal Human Epidermal Melanocytes are isolated using the PMA (Phorbol Myristate Acetate)-containing Melanocyte Growth Medium. Since PMA is a tumor promoting mitogen, it can interfere with experimental approaches. Therefore, we recommend using cells isolated in Melanocyte Growth Medium M3. |
