Macrophages from gut-corrected CF mice express human CFTR and lack a pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Macrophages represent prominent immune orchestrators of cystic fibrosis (CF) inflammation and, as such, are an ever-increasing focus of CF research with several reports of intrinsic immune dysfunction related to loss of CFTR activity in macrophages themselves. Animal models of CF have contributed, in no small part, to a deepening of our understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and towards therapeutic...
