Abstract excerpt
Numerous investigators have described maintenance of airway epithelial cells from various species in a differentiated state in primary culture. Because the number of cells that can be isolated from the mouse trachea is very small, published techniques are unsuitable for this species. To examine the production of growth factors by murine airway epithelial cells, the authors developed a method for culture of mouse...
