Crystal structure of a complex of Surfactant Protein D and Haemophilus influenzae lipopolysaccharide reveals shielding of core structures in SP-D resistant strains
(2016)
Journal Article
The carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) of lung collectin surfactant protein D (SP-D) recognize sugar patterns on the surface of lung pathogens and promote phagocytosis. Using Haemophilus influenzae Eagan strains expressing well-characterized lip...
