Under sterile conditions, the mid-cervical trachea was dissected free and placed into 0.1% protease (type 25, from Bacillus polymyxia) solution in Hank's balanced salt solution at 37 C for 2 h. Tracheal segments then were transferred to sterile culture plates containing Ham's/F12medium with 10% fetal calfserum (FCS) and opened. Epithelial cells were dislodged using a micro-spatula, triturated through a small-bore pipette tip to break up clumped cells, collected,
