Differentiation potential of basal cell clones. Basal cells were recovered from bronchial tissue at the time of lung transplantation (non‐cystic fibrosis [CF] and CF), by brushing the bronchial epithelium (CF only), or brushing the nasal respiratory epithelium (CF only). Donor demographics are presented in Tables 1 and 2 and Supporting Information Table S1. (A): Cell density as a function of passage number was assessed by quantification of DAPI‐positive nuclei. (B): The frequency of MUC5B‐positive mucus cells was quantified as a function of passage. (C): The frequency of ciliated cells was assessed by quantification of cells expressing multiple ACT positive apical cilia. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 22 clones. Symbols represent data from different clones. Abbreviation: ACT, acetylated tubulin.
