*Cell lines in adjacent rows are segment matched or represent the CF line complemented with wt-CFTR.
#Divides slowly.
 
 

There is a long list of non-epithelial cells stably expressing wt-CFTR or dF508 CFTR including:
mammary tumor cells (C127) and fibroblasts, to mention but a few.
 

All lines are available in the CF Cell Culture Core Facility, 605 Remsen.
*These cell lines are only available to Dartmouth Medical School researchers*
