Epithelial Cell Coculture Models for Studying Infectious Diseases: Benefits and Limitations
Countless in vitro cell culture models based on the use of epithelial cell types of single lineages have been characterized and have provided insight into the mechanisms of infection for various microbial pathogens. Diverse culture models based on disease-relevant mucosal epithelial cell types deriv...
