Effect of Innate Immune Collectin Surfactant Protein D and Adaptive Immune Protein IgM on Enhancing Clearance of Late Apoptotic Cells by Alveolar Macrophages

The innate immune protein surfactant protein (SP-) D is a carbohydrate binding protein that was originally isolated from mucosal lung tissues. Recently, studies show that SP-D binds to antibodies, including immunoglobulin M (IgM), which interacts with late apoptotic cells. Here we focus on the inter...
