Confocal microscopy provides information on host–pathogen interactions. To examine infection at the respiratory epithelial barrier, primary bronchial cells differentiated at an air-liquid interface (ALI) can be imaged and reconstructed as a 3D model. In this chapter, we describe a method for immunostaining and fluorescence imaging of well-differentiated bronchial epithelial tissue that has been exposed to the cystic fibrosis respiratory pathogen Achromobacter xylosoxidans.

摘要

Confocal microscopy provides information on host–pathogen interactions. To examine infection at the respiratory epithelial barrier, primary bronchial cells differentiated at an air-liquid interface (ALI) can be imaged and reconstructed as a 3D model. In this chapter, we describe a method for immunostaining and fluorescence imaging of well-differentiated bronchial epithelial tissue that has been exposed to the cystic fibrosis respiratory pathogen Achromobacter xylosoxidans.
