Fig. 6. The combination of alcohol feeding and RSV infection does not slow or detach cilia in MTECs from PKCε knockout mice.

MTEC from wild type and PKCε KO mice were cultured under air-liquid interface conditions and treated with 1 × 105 TCID50 RSV in the presence of 100 mM EtOH. Baseline CBF and the number of motile points were preserved in PKCε KO MTEC (ap<0.01 vs wild type or PKCδ KO mice) for both A) cilia slowing at 3 hr and B) number of motile points at 8 hr.
