Loss of ciliary activity in organ cultures of rat trachea treated with lipo-oligosaccharide from Haemophilus influenzae Johnson, A. P. and Inzana, T. J.,, 22, 265-268 (1986), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00222615-22-3-265, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 0022-2615, abstract= Summary Organ culture of rat trachea was used as an experimental model to examine the ability of lipo-oligosaccharide from Haemophilus influenzae to damage respiratory tract mucosal tissue. Lipo-oligosaccharide from two strains of H. influenzae produced a significant decrease in the ciliary activity of tracheal rings observed over a 3-5 day period. No loss of ciliary activity was observed with the lipid-free moiety of the lipooligosaccharide., language=, type=
