Inhibitors of pseudonomas aeruginosa induced mucin production: compositions and treatments for cystic fibrosis patients

摘要

The invention relates to methods for screening for inhibitors of mucomone induced mucin production, methods for inhibiting mucin production, methods for treating cystic fibrosis. Methods for identifying compounds that inhibit mucomone induced mucin production involve contacting cells with a compound in the presence of a mucomone, and detecting a change in mucin production or mucin gene activation of the cells.
