Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a collagen-like serum protein that mediates activation of
the complement system and is of importance for host defence. Common variant alleles …

MBL (mannose-binding lectin) is primarily a liver-derived collagen-like serum protein. It
binds sugar structures on micro-organisms and on dying host cells and is one of the four …

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a recognition molecule of the lectin pathway of complement
and a key component of innate immunity. MBL variant alleles have been described in the …

There is an emerging interest for mannose-binding lectin (MBL) due to its role in innate
immunity. In this survey we present a mixture of old and new data describing the effect MBL …

Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is a serum protein with structure and functions similar to those
of complement factor C1q, and is a key molecule in innate immunity. Interestingly, absence …

Human mannose-binding protein (MBL) is a component of innate immunity. To capture the
common genetic variants of MBL2, we resequenced a 10.0 kb region that includes MBL2 in …

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and lectin complement pathway have become targets of
increasing clinical interest. Many aspects of MBL have been recently explored, including the …

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key element of the innate immunity, with a structure
similar to complement C1q. Serum MBL levels are greatly affected by the polymorphisms of …

The mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) pathway of complement activation is an important
component of innate host defence. Numerous studies have described associations between …

Deficiency of human mannose-binding lectin (MBL) caused by mutations in the coding part
of the MBL2 gene is associated with increased risk and severity of infections and …
