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 ...
متن کاملMannose-Binding Lectin Deficiency Is Associated with Myocardial Infarction: The HUNT2 Study in Norway
OBJECTIVES Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolins activate the complement cascade, which is involved in atherogenesis. Based on a pilot study, we hypothesized that functional polymorphisms in the MBL gene (MBL2) leading to dysfunctional protein are related to development of myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the present study was to study polymorphisms in MBL2 and ficolin genes in relati...
متن کاملIs mannose-binding lectin deficiency associated with infection due to Gram-positive bacteria?
To the Editor—We read with great interest the article by Eisen et al. [1], in which the authors report an ambitious multivariable analysis of several articles on the impact of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency on the outcome of severe bacterial infection and sepsis. Although genetic polymorphisms in the genes encoding different molecules of the innate immune system have been associated wi...
متن کاملmannose-binding lectin deficiency in patients with a history of recurrent infections
mannose-binding lectin (mbl) is a protein of innate immune system that is involved in opsonization and complement activation. mbl deficiency is associated with predisposition to infectious diseases; however subnormal levels are also seen in healthy subjects. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and clinical manifestation of mbl deficiency in patients with increased susceptibi...
متن کاملinvestigation of mannose–binding lectin level and deficiency in patients with dermatophytosis
background dermatophytosis is a cutaneous fungal infection with a worldwide occurrence. in dermatophyte infections, the release of keratinocyte cytokines, in the presence of dermatophyte antigens, causes an acute phase response; subsequently, the acute-phase proteins are produced by hepatocytes. mannose–binding lectin (mbl), an acute-phase protein, also acts as a kind of pattern recognition rec...
