Cystic Fibrosis
Conditions
Brief summary
In order to further enable physiopathology studies, the aim of this project is to validate an in vitro model of cystic fibrosis created using induced pluripotent stemcell (iPS) differentiated bronchial epithelium from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients homozygous for the p.Phe508del mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
Detailed description
The investigator's primary objective is to generate iPS lines from 3 CF patients and from 3 healthy subjects. Secondary objectives include verification that cell lines express the CFTR gene according to their genotype, verification or relative production of the CFTR protein for each iPS line, and amplification of obtain iPS lines for aliquot creation to facilitate sharing.
