Effects of endotoxin on surfactant protein A and D stimulation of NO production by alveolar macrophages

Effects of endotoxin on surfactant protein A and D stimulation of NO production by alveolar macrophages

Surfactant protein (SP) A and SP-D affect numerous functions of immune cells including enhancing phagocytosis of bacteria and production of reactive species. Previous studies have shown that SP-A and SP-D bind to a variety of bacteria and to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) components of their cell wall...
