Infection of pNEC cultures induces minimal cell death. Submerged cultures of pNECs from pregnant and non-pregnant women with and without asthma were infected with (A) RV43 or (B) H3N2. Infection resulted in cytopathic effects evidenced as small holes in the monolayer, however cell viability was still between 70 and 80% with both RV43 and H3N2. Data represented as mean +/− SEM
