Serum inflammatory profiles in cystic fibrosis mice with and without Bordetella pseudohinzii infection

Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, and is marked by an accumulation of mucus in affected airways resulting in persistent infection and chronic inflammation. Quantitative differenc...
