Figure 1 A: Schematic structure of the empty pMGene construct and of the pMGene-CFTR exon constructs showing the position of the unclassified variants. Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) is shown by a large gray box; β-globin exons (E1, E2, and E3) and CFTR exons, large white boxes; lines between exons, β-globin corresponding introns; and dotted lines, CFTR introns. The cytomegalovirus promoter (pCMV) is shown in a thin box; the arrows represent the primers used for the splicing pattern analysis. B: RT-PCR analysis of mRNA extracted from cell lines transfected with the indicated pMGene constructs.
