Purification of Surfactant Protein D (SP-D) from Pooled Amniotic Fluid and Bronchoalveolar Lavage

Surfactant protein SP-D is a multimeric collagenous lectin, called collectin . SP-D is a multifunctional, pattern recognition innate immune molecule, which binds in a calcium dependent manner to an array of carbohydrates and lipids

Atomic Force Microscopy of Interfacial Monomolecular Films of Pulmonary Surfactant

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) is a lipid protein complex secreted at the terminal airways of the lung. The material is secreted as lipid rich multilamellate bodies, which transforms into lipid—protein tubules, planar bilayers, and monomolecular
