In this scenario, primary cultures of human respiratory tract epithelial cells would be invaluable to understand H7N9 virus tissue tropism and pathogenesis, as well as to evaluate how patient-related characteristics can modulate the host's response to infection. With regard to virus tropism, viral RNA quantities were significantly higher in epithelial cells obtained from the upper anatomical locations than from the lower anatomical locations, without adjustment (P = 0.030); however, the difference lost significance after adjustment for age, sex, medical comorbidities, and obesity (P = 0.490; Figure 2B ).	./cache/cord-002937-7xauocti.txt	./txt/cord-002937-7xauocti.txt
