Antibodies for CFTR studies.

For most expression studies focusing on the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein, sensitive and specific antibodies (Abs) are critically needed. Several Abs have been produced commercially or by research laboratories for CFTR detection in both cell lines with heterologous or endogenous expression and native cells/tissues. Here, we review the applicability of most Abs currently in use in CF research for the biochemical and/or immunocytochemical detection of CFTR.

Biochemical methods to assess CFTR expression and membrane localization.

Detection of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is usually a difficult task to accomplish due to the low levels of expression and high turnover that this membrane protein is submitted to in the cell. Common biochemical methods can be used for the detection of CFTR but several critical points must be taken into account. The scope of this article is to outline biochemical methods commonly used to assess CFTR expression, processing and membrane localization.
