Abstract excerpt
The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are characterized by an exaggerated inflammation driven by secretion of IL-8 from bronchial epithelial cells and worsened by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. To identify novel antiinflammatory molecular targets, we previously performed a genetic study of 135 genes of the immune response, which identified the c.2534C>T (p.S845L) variant of phospholipase C-β3 (PLCB3)...
