CFTR and cystic fibrosis: We used mass-spectrometry based proteomic analysis of unstimulated and carbachol stimulated newborn wild-type (WT) and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) null (CF) piglet airways to study proteins in the airway surface liquid and mucus, to investigate if levels of MUC5AC and MUC5B were affected by carbachol stimulation and whether the proteins clustered according to function.
