Surfactant Protein Genetic Marker Alleles Identify a Subgroup of Tuberculosis in a Mexican Population

Pulmonary surfactant and its components are essential for normal lung function and are involved in local host defense. Surfactant protein (SP)—A and SP-D bind to and modulate phagocytosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by macrophages. Frequency comparisons of SP marker alleles in tuberculosis patient...
