Effect of mannose-binding protein on binding of Cryptococcus neoformans to human phagocytes.
The capacity of human peripheral blood monocytes, neutrophils, and monocyte-derived macrophages to bind the yeast Cryptococcus neoformans was increased when the phagocytes were cultured on surfaces containing recombinant human mannose-binding protein. In contrast, soluble mannose-binding protein had no effect on cryptococcal binding by phagocytes.

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) cause substantial morbidity and mortality in yearly epidemics, which result from the ability of the virus to alter the antigenicity of its envelope proteins. Despite the rapid replication of this virus and its ability to infect a wide variety of cell types, viremia is rare and the infection is generally limited to the upper respiratory tract. The preimmune host defens...

The Human Mannose-binding Protein Gene
The human mannose-binding protein (MBP)' is an acute phase serum protein of -300 kD comprised of multimers of a 32-kD subunit (1-3). It is a member of an ever-growing family of animal lectins that share at least 18 invariant residues in their carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The family can be divided into membrane proteins and soluble proteins, and all bind ligands optimally at neutral pH...
متن کاملManganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...
