Analysis of the association between lactotransferrin (LTF) gene polymorphism and dental caries
OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated the association between lactotransferrin (LTF) gene polymorphism (exon 2, A/G, Lys/Arg) and dental caries. MATERIAL AND METHODS A convenience sample of 110 individuals, 12 years old, was divided into: group 1, 48 individuals without caries experience (DMFT=0), and group 2, 62 subjects with caries experience (DMFT>or=1). DNA was obtained from a mouthwash w...
متن کاملRapid communication: mapping of the Mannose-Binding Lectin 2 (MBL2) gene to pig chromosome 14.
Name of Gene Marker. MBL2, Mannose-Binding Lectin 2 (Mannose-Binding Protein, Serum; MBP1). Source and Description of Primers. Primers (set A) were designed based on human (GenBank accession number X15422) and cattle (GenBank accession number D73408) MBL2 sequences available in the GenBank database. Using porcine genomic DNA as a template in the PCR, these primers amplified an 831-bp fragment. ...
متن کاملP 144: Sunflower Mannose binding Lectin-Associated Serine Protease Inhibitor-1 (SFMI-1) and -2: Significant Inhibitors of Mannose binding Lectin Pathway which Helps in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment
One of the important parts of innate immunity is complement system that occurs in three different ways; the classic, the alternative and the lectin pathway. The four pattern recognition molecules that have been identified till now are Mannose binding lectin (MBL), a component of lectin pathway, and three ficolins (ficolin1,-2 and -3) which compound to the carbohydrates of the cell surface. MBL ...
متن کاملLack of Association between Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Polymorphism of Mannose-Binding Lectin Gene in Korean Population
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in immune defense. This study was undertaken to investigate the association between hepatitis B virus infection and polymorphisms of MBL gene. We assessed the single nucleotide polymorphism at codon 54 in exon 1 of MBL in patients with hepatitis B virus infection and HBsAg negative controls in Korean population. A total of 498 enrolled subjec...
متن کاملMannose-binding lectin and susceptibility to schistosomiasis.
BACKGROUND Human ficolin 2 (encoded by FCN2) and mannose-binding lectin (encoded by MBL2) bind to specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns, activate the complement lectin cascade in a similar manner, and are associated with several infectious diseases. Our recently published study established certain FCN2 promoter variants and ficolin-2 serum levels as protective factors against schistos...
