Abstract

For cell studies in this work the adherent epithelial cell line MDCK–II (Madin Darby Canine Kidney, strain II), and the adherent epithelial-like cell line NRK (Normal Rat Kidney, strain 52E) were used. Both cell lines were obtained from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ—German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (Braunschweig, Germany). They grow on cell culture substrates as monolayers of cobblestone-like morphology.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Bulk waves occur in a boundary-free medium.

  2. 2.

    Surface waves occur along a single plane boundary (= semi-infinite solid).
