Figure 1From: Tight junction disruption by cadmium in an in vitro human airway tissue model Morphological characterization of ALI human airway cultures. ALI cultures were fixed in 10% formalin 5Â weeks after the initial seeding onto the permeable membrane support. Tissue sections were stained with H&E (A), p63 (B), Ki67 (C), and PAS (D). Examples of positively stained cells are indicated by arrows. The arrows in (A), (B), (C), and (D) indicate ciliated cells, basal cells, actively proliferating cells, and goblet cells, respectively.Back to article page
