Primary small airway epithelial cells were differentiated at the air-liquid interface as described. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA and then stained for Krt5 (basal cells, white), CC10 (club cells, red), acetylated tubulin (ciliated cells, green), and DAPI (nuclei, blue). The membrane was then cut from the insert and mounted. Z-stacks were photographed with the Zeiss LSM 700 confocal and Leica Stellaris confocal microscopes and combined into a 3D render.
