We collected nasal epithelial cells from 41 newborn infants (23 term, 18 preterm) within 5 days of birth. Repeat sampling was achieved for 24 infants (13 term, 11 preterm) at a median age of 12.5 months. Morphologically- and physiologically-authentic well-differentiated primary paediatric nasal epithelial cell (WD-PNEC) cultures were generated and characterised using light microscopy and immunofluorescence. Results detail clinical characteristics of recruited infants and microscopy findings for cilia and goblet cell proportions of generated well-differentiated nasal epithelial cell cultures from Preterm and Term infants at birth and one-year.
