Concentration of the antibacterial precursor thiocyanate in cystic fibrosis airway secretions

A recently discovered enzyme system produces antibacterial hypothiocyanite (OSCN(−)) in the airway lumen by oxidizing the secreted precursor thiocyanate (SCN(−)). Airway epithelial cultures have been shown to secrete SCN(−) in a CFTR-dependent manner. Thus, reduced SCN(−) availability in the airway...
