Serum Surfactant Protein D during Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background: There is a paucity of lung specific biomarkers to diagnose exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and to track their progression. Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a pulmonary collectin regulating the innate immunity of the lung and its serum expression is perturbed i...
