Use of a Human Small Airway Epithelial Cell Line to Study the Interactions of Aspergillus fumigatus with Pulmonary Epithelial Cells

Using the HSAEC1-KT human small airway epithelial (HSAE) cell line, scientists developed an in vitro model to study the interaction of two strains of A. fumigatus with bronchial and type II alveolar cell lines.
