Does culture of Calu-3 cells at the air interface provide a representative model of the airway epithelial barrier?
Distinct differences in morphology and permeability result when Calu-3 cells are grown using AIC or LCC. Cells cultured using AIC generate a model more morphologically representative of the airway epithelium than cells cultured using LCC.
(99m)Tc-Sulfur colloid binds better to egg whites compared with whole eggs. These results emphasize the need to evaluate the stability of new radiolabeled test meal preparations, including the method of cooking.
