Complement and surfactant protein D in the innate immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae

Autor: Jounblat, Rania Ahmad

The aim of this project was to investigate the role of complement and lung surfactant protein D in innate immunity to S. pneumoniae.;Pneumolysin, a cytolytic toxin produced by S. pneumoniae, is able to activate the classical complement pathway. The d
