Cystic Fibrosis Plasma Blunts the Immune Response to Bacterial Infection

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations of the gene encoding the CF transmembrane conductance regulator. It remains unclear whether the abnormal immune response in CF involves extrinsic signals released from the external or internal environment. We sought to characterize the peripheral immune signatures in CF and its association with clinical phenotypes. Healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells...
