Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis &ukYTDM
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it 83"Vh$&
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, Ppw0vaJ^
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, gbP]!d:I
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because 95.m^~5
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs `0@onDQVc=
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited j@jaFsX|
defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic |1sl>X,

Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the 0n5{Wr$
required repertoire for antigen recognition. We have determined a crystal structure for a #KC& ct
VLR-antigen complex, VLR RBC36 in complex with the H-antigen trisaccharide from ![=C`O6K
human blood type O erythrocytes, at 1.67 angstrom resolution. RBC36 binds the L : hEt
H-trisaccharide on the concave surface of the LRR modules of the solenoid structure ^_6.*Mvx
where three key hydrophilic residues, multiple van der Waals interactions, and the highly Eiqx1ZM
variable insert of the carboxyl-terminal LRR module determine antigen recognition and lTl-<E;
specificity. The concave surface assembled from the most highly variable regions of the fq-zgqF<
LRRs, along with diversity in the sequence and length of the highly variable insert, can EbEQ@6t
account for the recognition of diverse antigens by VLRs. !j'9>G{T
