Abstract

Surfactant protein D (SP-D) belongs to the collectin family of innate immune molecules. SP-D was originally identified as a lung protein and is synthesized by epithelial type II cells of the alveoli and non ciliated bronchiolar cells (Clara cells). SP-D is further synthesized by epithelial cells at various mucosal surfaces in non pulmonary organs. The aim of this study is to detect the effect of inhaled corticosteroids on surfactant protein D in serum of COPD patients.
