		Research article The surfactant protein C mutation A116D alters cellular processing, stress tolerance, surfactant lipid composition, and immune cell activation Ralf Zarbock, Markus Woischnik, Christiane Sparr, Tobias Thurm, Suncana Kern, Eva Kaltenborn, Andreas Hector, Dominik Hartl, Gerhard Liebisch, Gerd Schmitz, Matthias Griese BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2012, 12:15 (29 March 2012) Abstract \| Provisional PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Mutations to the gene encoding Surfactant protein C (SP-C) are implicated in interstitial lung disease; the A116D mutation impairs processing of proSP-C in vitro, leading to altered cell viability, surfactant lipid composition and activation of immune cells.
