ABSTRACT:
A non-human animal characterized by a human airway, the human airway being open-ended. The human airway is characterized by cells derived from the human respiratory system. The non-human animal and the human airway it carries are useful as models of human airways, particularly diseased human airways, for example, human CF airways. They are also useful to predict the efficacy or toxicity of agents and therapies on human airways, particularly on diseased human airways, for example, human CF airways.
