Rationale for change
Surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D) are the specific surfactant proteins primarily involved in host defense in the lungs.
SP-A and SP-D are collectins, a type of pattern recognition molecule, that play essential roles in the innate immune system of the respiratory tract. They help in the recognition and clearance of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, from the airways and also assist in modulating the immune response. These surfactant proteins contribute to the host defense mechanisms within the respiratory system.
