Fig. 1From: Establishment and comparison of air-liquid interface culture systems for primary and immortalized swine tracheal epithelial cellsDevelopment of immortalized STEC line and primary STECs cultured under Ali conditions over 21Â days. The immortalized STEC line and primary STECs were immersed in media, and they grew into a confluent monolayer within 2Â days. At this time, the apical medium was then discarded to create Ali conditions. Cellular morphological changes at different time points (D7, D14, and D21) were observed by conventional light microscopyBack to article page
