Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by a dramatic neutrophil recruitment and repeated Pseudomonas infections in the lungs. To evaluate cytokine releasibility by airway epithelial cells in the context of CF, we studied primary nasal epithelial cells isolated from the upper airways and continuous...
