Surfactant Protein-D and Surfactant Inhibit Endotoxin-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation

Intratracheal rhSP-D inhibited inflammation induced by intratracheal LPS and LTA instillation in the lung. The antiinflammatory effects of rhSP-D were enhanced by the addition of pulmonary surfactant, providing a potential therapy for the treatment of lung inflammation.
