Pulmonary surfactant contains two families of hydrophobic proteins, SP-B and SP-C. Both
proteins are thought to promote the formation of the phospholipid monolayer at the air/fluid …

Revised Manuscript Received August 29, 1991 abstract: Pulmonary surfactant proteins, SP-
B and SP-C, if present in preformed monolayers can induce lipid insertion from lipid vesicles …

Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of (phospho) lipids and surfactant specific proteins, lining
the alveolar space. During each respiration cycle phospholipids are transferred between the …

Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B (SP-B) has been incorporated into vesicles of
dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) by two …

The fluorescence characteristics of surfactant protein A (SP-A) from porcine and human
bronchoalveolar lavage were determined in the presence and absence of lipids. After …

Hydrophobic pulmonary surfactant (PS) proteins B (SP-B) and C (SP-C) modulate the
surface properties of PS lipids. Epifluorescence microscopy was performed on solvent …

Lung surfactant protein, SP-B, and synthetic amphipathic peptides derived from SP-B were
studied in model lung surfactant lipid bilayers by immunofluorescent labeling. Liposomes …

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipid/protein mixture that reduces surface tension at the respiratory
air–water interface in lungs. Among its nonlipidic components are pulmonary surfactant …

Lipid-protein interactions of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein SP-C in model
DPPC/DPPG and DPPC/DPPG/eggPC vesicles were studied using steady-state and time …
