Role of lamellar inclusions in surfactant production: studies on phospholipid composition and biosynthesis in rat and rabbit lung subcellular fractions.
Lamellar inclusion bodies in the type II alveolar epithelial cell are believed to be involved in pulmonary surfactant production. However, it is not clear whether their role is that of synthesis, storage, or secretion. We have examined the phospholipid composition and fatty acid content of rabbit lu...
