Surfactant protein a in cystic fibrosis: supratrimeric structure and pulmonary outcome.
<h4>Background</h4>The state of oligomerization of surfactant associated protein-A (SP-A) monomers differs between individuals. This likely affects SP-A's functional properties and could thereby influence clinical status in patients with lung diseases. In this study we focus on SP-A...
