Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is expressed at low levels in nonepithelial cells. Recently, we demonstrated that CFTR is responsible for cell cycle-dependent adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate-responsive Cl- permeability in lymphocytes. Agonist responsiveness of cystic fibrosis (CF) lymphocytes was restored by transfection with plasmid containing wild type CFTR cDNA. CFTR mRNA is...
