Distinct Roles for Lung Collectins in Pulmonary Host Defense

1 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

It has long been recognized that the lung contains resident components of the innate immune system that provide a first-line defense against infectious challenge. Recent studies have provided considerable evidence that two surfactant associated proteins, surfactant protein (SP)-A and SP-D, play important roles in pulmonary host defense (1). SP-A and SP-D are members of a larger family of proteins known as...
