| Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosis | The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ... | Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1995-10 |
