Structural characterisation of oligosaccharide recognition by surfactant protein D

Human surfactant protein D (hSP-D) is a C-type lectin and member of the collectin family that is involved in pathogen recognition as part of the innate immune response. Recognition occurs through the carbohydrate arrays on the surfaces of the pathogens. This work focuses on characterising, at the at...
