Regarding ANCA implications, I have stated before so here is a brief repeat IMO. It seems (on the surface) they are using bpi21 in cf to overcome infections and/or resistance. However in a small study 88%
of cf patients had anca to bpi. Since bpi is part of natuaral host defense to infection, then one might say that lack of host defense might be a contributing cause of infection. If lack of anca to bpi 21,then bpi21 might be even better
