From: Rhinovirus infection induces cytotoxicity and delays wound healing in bronchial epithelial cells
Damaged epithelium (t = 0) is suboptimally repopulated after RV-infection in comparison to control BEAS-2B cells. DAPI stained cells (A). Repopulation of damaged epithelium, expressed as unpopulated area in mm2, in RV-infected and non-infected BEAS-2B cells, immediately after damage (t = 0) and at 24, 48 and 72 hours later (B). Repopulation in infected cells is significantly reduced (*p < 0.05, **p = 0.001, n = 8, Mann Whitney).
