TOTAL BCL-2 EXPRESSION IN NON–CYSTIC FIBROSIS AND CYSTIC FIBROSIS BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS

Cells	Total Bcl-2 (ng/mg protein)
Differentiated primary non-CF bronchial epithelial cells (WCL) (n = 5 donors)	7.74 ± 1.41
Differentiated primary non-CF bronchial epithelial cells (WCL) (n = 4 donors)	10.55 ± 1.50
16HBEo- (M)	8.90 ± 0.11
CF45o- (M)	14.50 ± 0.12*

Definition of abbreviations: CF = cystic fibrosis; M = microsomal membrane preparations; WCL = whole cell lysate.

^*Significant difference from non–cystic fibrosis 16HBEo- cells (P < 0.05).
