Human Nasal Epithelial Cell Images After Radiation and Rhinovirus Challenge

Figshare admin karger published this dataset on May 8, 2026. It contains TIF image files totaling 13.3 MB, likely from immunofluorescence and cytospin analyses. The data supports a study on the dose-dependent effects of gamma irradiation on human nasal epithelial cells and their subsequent antiviral immune responses.

Use Cases

• Quantifying DNA damage and epithelial cell number based on immunofluorescence images mentioned in the description
• Analyzing ciliary beat frequency and barrier integrity changes based on structural assessment data
• Modeling dose-dependent epithelial injury based on radiation exposure levels (0-16 Gy)
• Studying antiviral and inflammatory gene induction based on rhinovirus infection challenge results

Strengths

• Data is associated with a detailed experimental protocol using human nasal epithelial cells differentiated at an air-liquid interface
• Includes results from multiple radiation doses (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gy) and a viral challenge model
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating open reuse

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
