Abstract

See full text

A multicellular fluidic enhanced airway model system of the conducting airways as a tool for the evaluation of biological threats and medical countermeasures is provided. The airway model system can include a first chamber having an inlet and an outlet and containing epithelial cells; a second chamber having an inlet and an outlet and containing an extracellular matrix, wherein the second chamber is separated from the first chamber by a porous membrane; and a third chamber having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the third chamber is separated from the second chamber by a porous membrane, and wherein the airway tissue model system is configured to provide a separate fluidic pathway through each of said first, second, and third chambers. A method of analyzing tissue response to an agent via an airway tissue model system is also provided.
