Complementation of Pulmonary Abnormalities in SP-D(−/−) Mice with an SP-D/Conglutinin Fusion Protein [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and serum conglutinin are closely related members of the collectin family of host defense lectins. Although normally synthesized at different anatomic sites, both proteins participate in the innate immune response to microbial challenge.
