Mannose Binding Lectin, S100 B Protein, and Brain Injuries in Neonates With Perinatal Asphyxia

بررسی سطح سرمی C–Reactive Protein Mannoseو Mannose–Binding Lectin در افراد مبتلا به درماتوفیتوزیس

Background: Interleukin8 (IL-8) realized from keratinocytes in the presence of dermatophytic antigens causesinduction of acute responses in dermatophyte infection and subsequently production of acute phaseproteins occurs in hepatocytes. C–reactive protein (CRP) and Mannose–binding lectin (MBL) areacute phase proteins. Since few researches in the case of acute phase proteins in dermatophyticinfe...

P 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 ...

mannose-binding lectin serum levels in patients with candiduria

results in this study, 45 (13.4 %) urine samples were positive for candida species (17 males and 28 females). the most common isolated yeast was candida albicans (34%), followed by c. glabrata (32.1%), c. tropicalis (9.4%), other candida species (22.6%), and rhodotorula species (1.9%). the mean serum levels of mbl were 0.85 ± 0.01 ng/ml and 1.02 ± 0.03 ng/ml among candiduric patients and contro...

Mannose-Binding Lectin-Deficient Mice

Effects of mannose-binding lectin and mannose-binding lectin polymorphisms on treatment response in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

BACKGROUND/AIMS The natural course and clinical outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is related to the interaction between HCV and the immune response of the host. Only a limited number of studies have investigated the role of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) levels in HCV infection. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between MBL levels and gene polymorphisms on tr...
