Ciliated respiratory epithelial monolayers: new model for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection

M G Gabridge et al. Infect Immun. 1978 Jul.

Abstract

Hamster respiratory epithelial cells were cultured in a monolayer format, and 20% of the cells were ciliated. Mycoplasma pneumoniae attached to the epithelial cells in a neuraminidase-specific fashion and induced ciliostasis and cytonecrosis.
