Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding surfactant protein (SP) A, a developmentally regulated pulmonary surfactant-associated protein, is expressed in a lung-specific manner, primarily in pulmonary type II cells. SP-A gene transcription in the rabbit fetal lung is increased by cAMP. To delineate the genomic regions involved in regulation of SP-A gene expression, lines of transgenic mice carrying fusion genes composed of various...
