Small Peptide Derivatives Within the Carbohydrate Recognition Domain of SP-A2 Modulate Asthma Outcomes in Mouse Models and Human Cells

ByRaeSedo Inc. Press

Surfactant Protein-A (SP-A) is an innate immune modulator that regulates a variety of pulmonary host defense functions. We have shown that SP-A is dysfunctional in asthma, which could be partly due to genetic heterogeneity. In mouse models and primary bronchial epithelial cells from asthmatic participants, we evaluated the functional significance of a particular single nucleotide…
