Although the surface properties of surfactant protein (SP)-B and SP-C are similar, the contributions that either protein may make to lung function have not been identified in vivo. Mutations in SP-B cause lethal respiratory failure at birth; however, SP-B null mice are deficient in both SP-B and SP-C. To identify potential contributions of SP-C to lung function in vivo, the following transgenic...

In this study, four specimens belonging to Karaj mycoflora were examined. According to the results, two form – species; Diplosporonema delastrei, on Silene latifolia subsp. persica and Piggotia ulmi, on Ulmus sp. are reported with new names.
