A method is described to evaluate pharmacologic influence on bovine tracheal mucus transport in vitro. In this model, cholinergic agonist methacholine stimulated transport velocity. Methacholine at concentration of 10(-6)M increased velocity by 13.6%, whereas 10(-5)M increased velocity by 26%. Stimulation was inhibited by atropine.
