Mucus aggregation and transmucosal transport. (a) The binding rate of CLs, PcCLs, AT-CLs, and Pc-AT-CLs with different concentrations of mucus (data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3). (b) Transmucosal transport of CLs, PcCLs, AT-CLs, and Pc-AT-CLs with or without a pretreatment or post-treatment process to remove mucus (data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3, ** p < 0.05).
