Comparison of cellular composition, morphology and polarisation of differentiated BBECs and ex vivo bronchial epithelium using fluorescent immunohistochemistry. Ex vivo bronchial epithelium dissected from the donor animal before cell extraction (i) and day 21 post-ALI BBEC cultures (ii) were fixed and paraffin-embedded using standard histological techniques. Sections were cut, deparaffinised and immunohistochemically stained to identify markers of specific epithelial cell-type as follows: cilia (ciliated cells) - red; Muc5AC (mucus and goblet cells) - green; p63 (basal cells) - blue; nuclei - grey.
