SCD5 and cystic fibrosis: The base line expression of Scd2 was also comparable between CF and WT DC, but only the WT DC showed a decreased response in Scd2 expression upon P. aeruginosa infection (p < 0.05, Figure 5E) resulting in a 21.2-fold decrease upon exposure to P. aeruginosa in WT DC compared to only 4.5-fold decrease in CF DC, elucidating a fold change difference of Scd2 expression between CF and WT mice (p < 0.05, Figure 5F).
