The effect of accumulated mucus on airway surface liquid (ASL) and diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) absorption in cystic fibrosis (CF) human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cell cultures. a) ASL volume absorption represented as a per cent change at 12 h in the absence or presence of mucus (10 μL, sampled from non-CF HBE cells), hyperosmotic basolateral growth medium (normal medium plus 300 mM mannitol) or the combination of both. b) 99mTc-DTPA absorption represented as a per cent change at 12 h in the absence or presence of mucus, hyperosmotic basolateral media or both. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of 12 cultures from two different tissue donors. ***: p<0.001 versus control.
