Surfactant Protein D Increases Fusion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis- Containing Phagosomes with Lysosomes in Human Macrophages

Lung surfactant protein D (SP-D) binds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis surface lipoarabinomannan and results in bacterial agglutination, reduced uptake, and inhibition of growth in human macrophages. Here we show that SP-D limits the intracellular growth of bacilli in macrophages by increasing phagoso...
