Randomized trial investigates antiviral responses in alveolar cells, revealing increased infection vulnerability in AT2 cells.
Key Points
This research aims to understand the differences in susceptibility and antiviral responses between alveolar type 1 and type 2 cells during influenza virus infection.
Immunofluorescence staining used to examine influenza A virus distribution.
Primary murine epithelial cell cultures for AT1 and AT2 cells were established.
