Abstract

A novel isotopic technique suggests that the [Na] and [C1] of airway surface liquid are both normally ∼50 mM. In cystic fibrosis, lack of the functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) causes failure of transcellular C1 absorption, resulting in an elevation of [Na] and [C1] of airway surface liquid to ∼100 mM.
