Similar basal cell yield and expansion potential in brush biopsies. A Representative immunostaining of cytospin-recovered cells demonstrates positive staining of basal cell markers (K5, green) and (K14, red) in pediatric (p0 n = 5, p2 n = 3) and adult (p0 n = 6, p2 n = 4) samples, after brushing from normal (p0 n = 6, p2 n = 4), and stenotic regions (p0 n = 5, p2 n = 3) at passage 0 (left panel) and passage 2 (right panel). B Bar graph showing the percentage of positive cells over total cell counts (DAPI, blue) count divided by age or C region of sample collection. Bars represent mean ± DLB: direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy S.D. Statistical analysis was performed using 2-way ANOVA with multiple-comparison test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
