Differentiation of primary NHBE cells from passaged cells grown in M3 (PnC-Ex-PLUS) expansion medium. NHBE cells expanded in M3 expansion medium to passage 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 were cultured at ALI for 4 weeks in ALI differentiation media. The resulting 3D cultures were stained with H&E. (A) H&E staining of passaged NHBE cells (4 weeks ALI; X600 objective). (B) Trans-epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) of 3D cultured NHBE cells, 4 weeks ALI. Significance compared to first passage. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
