Airway surface liquid depth measured in ex vivo fragments of pig and human trachea: dependence on Na(+) and Cl(−) channel function

The airway surface liquid (ASL) is the thin fluid layer lining the airways whose depth may be reduced in cystic fibrosis. Prior measurements of ASL depth have been made in airway epithelial cell cultures. Here, we established methodology to measure ASL depth to ∼1-μm accuracy in ex vivo fragments of...
