Abstract excerpt
Misprocessing and mislocalization of the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been described for the major CF-causing mutation (delta F508) in heterologous expression systems in vitro. We have generated monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to CFTR with the aim of localizing the protein and its CF variants in vivo. Of the tissues where CFTR was observed, only the sweat gland is readily...
