Disease relevance of SP-D

 

High impact information on SP-D

  • Platelet aggregation in response to collagen was reduced in most SPD pigs [2].
  • While the initial uptake of 14C-labeled serotonin into platelets was similar in SPD and normal pigs, retention of serotonin was reduced in platelets of SPD pigs [2].
  • The difference in mass is due to the presence of an Asparagine-linked glycosylation in the carbohydrate recognition domain of porcine SP-D, which is absent in SP-D of other species investigated so far [3].
  • Our present aim was to establish the sites of SP-A and SP-D expression within the epithelium of the ET in vivo [4].
  • Recently, we described the expression of SP-A and SP-D in the ET, suggesting their role in middle ear host defense [5].
