Leveraged Buyouts - Bank Lenders

Where do Private Equity firms get their debt to buy companies. Yes - obviously a bank, but what types of bank. Are these just normal "commercial banks" or are their specialized arms of bigger banks that deal with these lendings? Are these the same banks that offer simple lines of credit? I feel like their are only a few banks allowed to lend to such firms. Can I get some real examples as well?
