Pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a member of the collectin family that plays an
important role in regulating innate immunity of the lung. We examined the mechanisms by …

Pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D), a member of the collectin group of innate immune
proteins, plays important roles in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) recognition. We have previously …

Pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a member of the collectin family and plays crucial
roles in the innate immunity of the lung. We have previously shown that surfactant protein A …

Pulmonary surfactant protein A (SP-A) plays an important part in Ab-independent host
defense mechanisms of the lung. In this study we investigated how SP-A interacts with …

Pulmonary surfactant protein D (SP-D), a member of the collectin family, is an innate
immune molecule critical for defense that can also modulate adaptive immune responses …

The lung collectin surfactant protein A (SP-A) has both anti-inflammatory and prophagocytic
activities. We and others previously showed that SP-A inhibits the macrophage production of …

The collectin surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is involved in the innate host defense and the
regulation of inflammatory processes in the lung. In this work we investigated the molecular …

Surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) are lung collectins that are constituents of the
innate immune system of the lung. Recent evidence (Sano, H., Sohma, H., Muta, T., Nomura …

Pulmonary surfactant protein (SP)-A, an innate immune molecule, modifies
lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell responses. Because SP-A avidly binds to the deep …

Abstract Surfactant protein-D (SP-D) participates in the innate response to inhaled
microorganisms and organic antigens, and contributes to immune and inflammatory …
