Abstract excerpt
Porcine surfactant protein D (pSP-D) displays distinctively strong, broad-range inhibitory activity against influenza A virus (IAV). N-Linked glycosylation of the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of pSP-D contributes to the high affinity of this collectin for IAV. To investigate the role of the N-linked glycan further, HEK293E protein expression was used to produce recombinant pSP-D (RpSP-D) that has similar...
