Effect of pulmonary surfactant protein A and neutral lipid on accretion and organization of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in surface films.

The effects of surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A) on lipid adsorption to the air-water interface and accumulation of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in the surface region were investigated at 37 degrees C. Dispersions used were bovine pulmonary lipid extract surfactant with or without neut...
