The role of Surfacant Protein D in the control of human helminth infections
Lung produced surfactant protein D (SP-D) is essential for both homeostasis and as an innate immune opsonin. In the project presented here, we aimed to translate data recently published by our group, which demonstrated that SP-D contributes to protection against murine parasitic nematode …

Amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity in F344 rats
… pulmonary fibrosis. Also, serum levels of surfactant protein-D, a protein normally found in the lungs, was elevated in the serum of i.t. AD-treated rats, and is proposed as a biomarker for the toxicity. However, attempts to elucidate the cytokine signaling behind the inflammatory events …

The role of pulmonary innate and adaptive immune responses to helminth infection
… pulmonary epithelial cell-secreted collectin, surfactant protein D (SP-D), is an important component of host immunity to N. brasiliensis infection. We demonstrate here that SP-D production is induced following N. brasiliensis infection in a Th2 dependent manner, it bound preferentially to lung …

Directed Evolution of Glycan-Binding Proteins
Glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) are commonly used reagents for the study of glycans. They do not require specialized equipment or time-consuming experimental methods, making them widely used tools for basic research and clinical applications. Existing glycan recognition reagents,antibodies and …

Improving Collagen-Mimetic Fibrils to Study Fibrillogenesis and Effects of Disease-Causing Mutations on Fibrillogenesis
<p>Collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, serves as the scaffold of connective tissue and has biomaterial applications to promote wound healing. The need to study collagen further stems from a disease perspective, as mutations in collagen lead to numerous connective tissue diseases. …

Wertigkeit von NT-proBNP, Surfactant Protein-B und Surfactant Protein-C als Marker zur Differentialdiagnose bei Patienten mit akuter Dyspnoe
… Studien finden die lungenepithelspezifischen Surfactant-Proteine B (SP-B) und D (SP-D) als diagnostische Parameter Eingang in die weitere Abklärung einer Dyspnoe. Ziel dieser Untersuchung war es, die differentialdiagnostische Wertigkeit von NT-proBNP (N-terminales Spaltprodukt des brain …
