Developmental regulation of expression of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A in Syrian hamsters.

abstract：:Deficiency of the lipoprotein complex, surfactant, can lead to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in the prematurely born infant. The surfactant proteins (SP) play important roles in the function of surfactant. Previously, we have characterized four allelic variants of the SP-A1 gene (6A, 6A2, 6A3, and 6A4) and five ...
