Lack of association between mannose binding lectin and antibody responses after acellular pertussis vaccinations. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is one of the key molecules in innate immunity and its role in human vaccine responses is poorly known. This study aimed to investigate the possible association of MBL polymorphisms with antibody production after ...
