Bio-activity
Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells.
When cells are added to E-Cad coated plates (5 μg/mL, 100 μL/well), approximately 33% will adhere specifically after 90 minutes at 37 ?C
Background
Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha-glucosyl moieties.
