Hideki Katsura, Hiroshi Kawada, and Kimio Konno First Department of Internal Medicine, Tokyo
Women's Medical College, Tokyo, Japan The effects of surfactant apoprotein A (SP-A) on the
superoxide production of rat alveolar macrophages (AM) were studied. Superoxide production
was measured by the ferricytochrome c reduction method. When AM were incubated with …
