Notes: Surfactant protein A (SP-A) (196-215) is a synthetic peptide that corresponds to amino acids 196-215 of the C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain of human SP-A.{68457} It inhibits LPS-induced TNF-α release in JAWSII mouse dendritic cells when used at concentrations of 1 and 10 µM. SP-A (196-215) (75 µM) induces phagocytosis of P. aeruginosa by JAWSII cells.{68458} Intratracheal administration of SP-A (196-215) (50 µg/animal) decreases disease severity and lung colony forming units in a mouse model of P. aeruginosa infection.
