Surfactant protein-D, a potential mediator of inflammation in axial spondyloarthritis
Abstract
Surfactant protein-D (SP-D), an innate immune defence molecule of the collectin family, is expressed in lungs and additional extrapulmonary epithelia. SP-D has immune modulatory and anti-microbial effects depending on its oligomerization. The ratio of high molecular weight (HMW): low molecular weight (LMW) SP-D in serum is mainly determined by the Met11Thr polymorphism (SNP rs721917). We aimed to study the SP-D serum level and the molecular size...
