Microparticulate uptake mechanisms of in-vitro cell culture models of the respiratory epithelium
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to examine the uptake mechanisms of fluorescent polystyrene microspheres of various diameters and surface chemistry by two human cell lines derived from the respiratory epithelium, A549 and Calu-3. Briefly, A549 and Calu-3 cells were grown to confluence in 12-well cluster plates and the uptake of fluorescent microspheres by the cells was determined at various time points. The...
