Cystic Fibrosis Conference

which occurs in the intermediate and Golgi compartments. This may reßect either a somewhat different route through the secretory pathway or interference with the enzymatic steps in oligosaccharide processing possibly by calnexin. The latter possibility is being explored employing calnexin variants which are differentially localized along the secretory pathway. These experiments have also revealed that the biosynthetic lability of wild-type CFTR and the biosynthetic arrest of DF508 CFTR involve distinct mechanisms.

The vast majority of cases of cystic Þbrosis are the result of a single amino acid deletion (DF508) in the sequence of CFTR. The result of this deletion is that the DF-CFTR misfolds and does not obtain its normal residence in the plasma membrane of cells, but instead is proteolyzed. The F508-contain

The nasal potential difference (PD) technique allows measurement of airway ion transport in human subjects in vivo. The characteristic abnormalities found in CF, namely increased Na + absorption and decreased cAMP-regulated Cl -secretion can be measured by sequential perfusion with amiloride, low Cl

tgAAVCF (AAV-CFTR) was used in a phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to transfer CFTR cDNA into respiratory epithelial cells in the maxillary sinus of 23 CF patients with maxillary antrostomies. The maxillary sinuses serve as a surrogate model of CF lung disease bec

The disturbances in ionic conductances and water transport associated with mutations in CFTR ultimately result in impairments in mucociliary clearance (MCC). The resulting mucostasis provides a conducive environment for colonization by opportunistic microorganisms that can induce severe inßammatory

The Þrst evidence of Pa in respiratory secretion (sputum) cultures is a landmark for disease progression in cystic Þbrosis (CF). Virtually all CF patients acquire Pa during their lifetime. Until recently the bacterium was rarely eradicated once established. Although the course of pulmonary infection
