Immunoreactive surfactant protein-D (SP-D) was assessed in human fetal, newborn, and adult tissues. In the fetal lung, SP-D was detected on airway surfaces by 10 weeks' gestation, staining increasing in the distal airways, decreasing in the proximal conducting airways with advancing gestation. In lungs from near-term infants and adults, SP-D was detected in Type II cells, serous cells of tracheobronchial glands, and subsets of cells lining peripheral airways. Immunostaining was decreased or absent in areas of lungs of neonates after injury to Type II cells, infection, or hemorrhage and was decreased in collapsed or unseptated airways from older infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. SP-D was also detected in many organs at all ages. SP-D was readily detected in epithelial cells and luminal material in lacrimal glands, salivary glands, pancreas, bile ducts, renal tubules, esophageal muscle and glands, parietal cells of the stomach, crypts of Lieberkuhn, sebaceous and eccrine sweat glands, Von Ebner's glands, endocervical glands, seminal vesicles, adrenal cortex, myocardium, and anterior pituitary gland. SP-D is a widely distributed member of the "collectin" family of polypeptides secreted onto luminal surfaces by epithelial cells lining ducts of many organs, where it likely plays a role in innate host defense.
