Abstract

Several methods are described for obtaining and growing ciliated respiratory epithelium in tissue culture. The addition of specific antigens to mucosa obtained from allergic patients and sensitized animals did not cause any detectable alterations in the frequency or coordination of the ciliary beat. Patients with chronic bronchitis and intrinsic (nonallergic) bronchial asthma generally had poor ciliary activity.
