Collectins and Pulmonary Host Defense

1 Aug 1998

Abstract excerpt

The surfactant-associated proteins SP-A and SP-D are members of a family of collagenous host defense lectins, designated collectins. There is increasing evidence that these pulmonary epithelial-derived proteins are important components of the innate immune response to microbial challenge, and that they participate in other aspects of immune and inflammatory regulation within the lung. The collectins bind to...
