Respiratory tract epithelium in primary culture: Effects of ciliotoxic compounds.
Acrolein ciliotoxicity was studied on primary cultures from rabbit tracheal epithelium. The inhibition of ciliary beat was chosen as a criterion for ciliotoxicity. The measurement of ciliary beat was accomplished using an original image analysis process.
