Abstract excerpt
A cystic fibrosis (CF) mouse expressing the human mucin MUC1 transgene (CFM) reverted the CF/Muc1(-/-) phenotype (little mucus accumulated in the intestine) to that of CF mice expressing mouse Muc1, which exhibited increased mucus accumulation. Western blots and immunohistochemical analysis showed that the MUC1 protein was markedly increased in CFM mice in which it was both membrane bound and secreted into the...
