T5 |
571-792 |
Sentence |

T6 |
793-991 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In a functional assay, the percentage of SP-D capable of binding zymosan rarely exceeded 60% in CF or control patients and similarly restricted binding activity was observed towards maltose-agarose. |

T10 |
1555-1759 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our data demonstrate that oligomeric heterogeneity underlies functional diversity amongst SP-D in health and disease and that dynamic regulation of oligomerisation is an important feature of SP-D biology. |
