Immune function and structural analysis of recombinant bovine conglutinin and human lung surfactant protein-D

Abstract:: Recognition of sugar moieties on the surface of microorganisms is one of the ways the body distinguishes potential pathogens from self-cells. The sugarbinding proteins, lectins, mediate this recognition role of the first line of defence against infections, preceding the antibody-mediated (adaptive) immune response. Collectins are calcium-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins that have been implicated in innate immunity. Bovine conglutinin (BC) and lung surfactant protein-D (SP-D), belon...
