Airways in human lung slices. (A) A human small airway in Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS). (B) In response to 1 μM MCH, the airway has contracted. (C) The change in airway cross section area (as a % of the initial area) in response to a variety of contractile stimuli. Agonists Histamine, Methacholine and leukotriene D4 and membrane depolarization with KCl induce airway contraction.
