For this purpose, two culture systems for well-differentiated BAEC were used: the air-liquid interface (ALI) system, where filter-grown BAEC differentiate into a pseudostratified respiratory epithelium and precision-cut lung slices (PCLS) where BAEC are maintained in the original tissue organisation. We have reported recently that well-differentiated respiratory epithelial cells are susceptible to infection by BPIV3 whereas they are rather resistant to infection by BRSV [7] . BPIV3 efficiently infected the airway epithelial cells using sialic acids on the apical surface as a receptor determinant for virus entry from the apical side. When BHV-1-GFP was applied to the apical side of the well-differentiated airway epithelial cells, infected cells were detected only occasionally. ./cache/cord-332881-mkm4ygh6.txt ./txt/cord-332881-mkm4ygh6.txt
