Abstract This protocol describes the thawing, culturing, and cryopreservation of the human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE14o- (referred to as “16HBE”). The attached methods document is a formal version of the information included here. The attached worksheet is a fillable PDF that can be used to maintain cell passage records using this protocol.Please note: Deviation from the three-day passage cycle and cell plating density described here typically results in greater culture and experimental variability.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.

Abstract This protocol describes the establishment and maintenance of differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cell (pHBEC) cultures from primary bronchial epithelial cells using Lonza and Gibco media. Note: This is a historical protocol. At the time of publication, this protocol has been superseded by a different version in the McCullough lab; however, it is being published to support the transparency and reproducibility of other studies by which it is referenced.Disclaimer: The information presented here has been reviewed and approved for publication by the US Environmental Protection Agency do not necessarily represent Agency policy.

Abstract This exposure model is meant to serve as an in vitro representation of trans-epithelial effects of airway diesel and particulate matter exposures on fibroblasts in the stroma. The epithelial cells in the airway epithelium are represented by 16HBE cells and the fibroblasts are represented by either the IMR90 cell line or primary fibroblasts.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.

Abstract Trans-epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) can be used as a measure of cell monolayer confluence, health, and integrity. An Epithelial Voltohmmeter (EVOM) is used to take TEER measurements. This method details how to take TEER readings using an EVOM with chopstick electrode.Please note that chopstick electrodes are only designed for use with 12 mm inserts.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.
