Defective CFTR expression and function are detectable in blood monocytes: development of a new blood test for cystic fibrosis.

Defective CFTR expression and function are detectable in blood monocytes: development of a new blood test for cystic fibrosis.

<h4>Background</h4>Evaluation of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) functional activity to assess new therapies and define diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) is cumbersome. It is known that leukocytes express detectable levels of CFTR but the molecule has not been...
