The origin of DNA associated with mucus glycoproteins in cystic fibrosis sputum
1 Jan 1990
Abstract excerpt
The relative importance of host and bacteria-derived deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the increased viscoelasticity of purulent sputum in cystic fibrosis (CF) and other airway diseases is unclear. We report the identification of the DNA associated with mucus glycoproteins purified from the purulent sputum of 9 patients with CF. Mucus glycoproteins were purified from CF sputum by gel exclusion chromatography and the...
