Fig. 2. The combination of alcohol and RSV results in worsened cilia loss and cell death in mouse tracheal epithelial cell cultures.

RSV-induced damage to ciliated cells was quantitated by dynein ELISA and LDH release. A) RSV infection resulted in increased axonemal dynein in the culture media by 6 hr (ap<0.05 vs Media) while 24 hr pretreatment with EtOH increased RSV-induced cilia loss (bp<0.001 vs RSV only). B) RSV infection increased LDH release (ap<0.005 vs Media) and this release was enhanced in EtOH pre-treated MTEC (bp<0.02 vs RSV only). Experiments were performed independently three times each using triplicate data measurements (n=9).
