Influence of the sampling method on the proteome. Protein expression patterns of airway epithelial cells (AECs) after 8 days of expansion of basal cells and after 3 weeks in ALI of each sample are shown as a heat map. The three different sampling methods (conventional, forceps, and cryo) were compared, and three healthy subjects were analyzed
