Methods for Discerning the Impact of Mucus on Host Defenses Against Viral Infection

Current Protocols, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Mucus is an important component of airway host defenses that acts by enabling the trapping and clearance of infectious materials such as bacteria and viruses. It can be difficult, however, to design experiments that independently determine the extent to which mucus contributes to innate barrier functions in the lung.
