Abstract excerpt
The relationships between airway epithelial Cl(-) secretion-Na(+) absorption balance, airway surface liquid (ASL) homeostasis, and lung disease were investigated in selected transgenic mice. 1) To determine if transgenic overexpression of wild-type (WT) human CFTR (hCFTR) accelerated Cl(-) secretion and regulated Na(+) absorption in murine airways, we utilized a Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP)-specific...
