TABLE 2.

CELL COUNTS QUANTIFYING NUMBER OF CELLS POSITIVE FOR RHINOVIRUS BY IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE

	Control Cells	IL-13
Total number of infected cells	110 ± 7	281 ± 38*
Total number of infected goblet cells	59 ± 6	213 ± 33*
Total number of infected non–goblet cells	51 ± 9	68 ± 9

Data were collected from six mature cell sheets grown at an air–liquid interface with four randomly selected fields from each sheet. sheets were from each of two different tracheas. Data represent an average of 24 fields for each treatment group. Data were determined using antibody B6E8. Exactly comparable results were obtained with MUC5AC clone 45M1. See online supplement.

^*Significantly different from control cells.
