Bovine oviductal epithelial cells were grown in
four-well culture plates: (1) as freshly retrieved BOECs, (2)
as first-passage BOECs after a 7-day culture period in a
culture flask (to increase cell purity), trypsinized, and
reseeded on glass inlets, and (3) as freshly retrieved BOECs
cultured as monolayers on hanging inserts in a PCC system
