Agglutination of lung surfactant with glucan
1992
Occupational and Environmental Medicine
Respirable cotton dust, implicated in the pathogenesis of byssinosis, contains a number of bioactive compounds. These include lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tannins, bacterial peptides, byssinosin, iacinilene C, and 1,3-p-Dglucan. The exact aetiological agent of byssinosis in such dust has not been definitively identified nor has its mechanism of action on lower lung surfaces been determined. In the present study 1,3-i-D-glucan, Enterobacter agglomerans LPS, and ovine pulmonary surfactant were mixed
