Abstract excerpt

Pulmonary surfactant and its components are essential for normal lung function and are involved in local host defense. Surfactant protein (SP)-A and SP-D bind to and modulate phagocytosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by macrophages. Frequency comparisons of SP marker alleles in tuberculosis patients and healthy control subjects (tuberculin-skin test positive or general population) were performed. Regression...
