Abstract

Bovine (Deoni cattle) lung extract containing surfactants have significant role in prevention of various respiratory disorders are studied in comparision with human lung surfactants. Molecular weights of the surfactants of Bovine lungs ranged between 40 & 58 kDa which is very close to the values of human lung surfactants. Further, the surfactants SP-A & SP-D of cattle matching with surfactants of human. Cattle lung extract has shown significant inhibitory effect on growth of lung infecting pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Staphylococcus aureus in vitro.
