Abstract excerpt
Human surfactant protein A (SP-A) is encoded by two genes (SP-A1, SP-A2), and each is identified with several alleles. SP-A is involved in normal lung function, innate immunity, inflammatory processes, and is regulated by glucocorticoids. We investigated the role of 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of 10 SP-A variants on gene expression using transient transfection of 3'-UTR constructs in the human lung...
