Surfactant Protein D modulates allergen particle uptake and inflammatory response in a human epithelial airway model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Allergen-containing subpollen particles (SPP) are released from whole plant pollen upon contact with water or even high humidity. Because of their size SPP can preferentially reach the lower airways where they come into contact with...
