From: Successful establishment of primary small airway cell cultures in human lung transplantation
Morphology of epithelial cells is maintained over passage. Phase contrast micrographs showing no morphological variation in bronchial epithelial cells cultured from small airway (SAEC) and large airway (LAEC) of a lung allograft, obtained during routine bronchoscopy. All cells exhibited a cobblestone morphology which was maintained over two consecutive passages (p0 to p2).
