Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the innate immune components surfactant protein A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) in victims of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). METHODS: Ten common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exons of SP-A1, SP-A2 and SP-D genes were analysed in 42 cases of SIDS and 46 explained sudden infant deaths. SP-A and SP-D protein expression in tissue from the aerodigestive tract was semi-quantitatively...
