Abstract excerpt
Surfactant protein B (SP-B) is essential for life and plays critical roles in host defense and lowering alveolar surface tension. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP rs1130866) of human SP-B (hSP-B) alters the N-linked glycosylation, thus presumably affecting SP-B function. This study has investigated the regulatory roles of hSP-B genetic variants on lung injury in pneumonia-induced sepsis. METHODS: Wild-type...
