A Genotypic-oriented View of CFTR Genetics Highlights Specific Mutational Patterns Underlying Clinical Macro-categories of Cystic Fibrosis. [PDF]
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a monogenic disease caused by mutations of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. The genotype-phenotype relationship in this disease is still unclear, and diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic ...

CFTR-mutation specific applications of CFTR-directed monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
Over the last decade novel monoclonal CFTR-specific antibodies have been developed. We here present a paired analysis to detect wild-type and mutant CFTR using Western blot analysis, flow cytometry and confocal microscopy in several cellular expression systems.The following CFTR-specific antibodies were used; 217, 432, 450, 570, 769, 596, 660, L12B4 ...
