Nasal epithelial cells form the outermost protective layer against environmental factors. They clean, humidify, and warm inhaled air. They produce mucus, which bind particles that are subsequently transported to the pharynx by cilia on the epithelial cells. It has been shown that nasal epithelial cells not only defend physically, but also respond by the production of inflammatory mediators that may affect local immune responses. The nasal epithelial cells are suitable as an in vitro model for studying nasal defense mechanism.
