Herpes simplex encephalitis in adult patients with MASP-2 deficiency.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
We report here two cases of Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE) in adult patients with very rare, previously uncharacterized, non synonymous heterozygous G634R and R203W substitution in mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2 (MASP2), a gene encoding

Activation of the lectin complement pathway on human renal glomerular endothelial cells triggered by high glucose and mannose-binding lectin

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY, 2011
This study aimed to investigate the roles of high glucose and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) on the activation of the lectin complement pathway (LCP) on human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGECs) in vitro. Flow cytometry analysis, immunofluorescence staining and Western blot were used to detect the cell surface deposition of MBL, C3 and the ...

Sustainable Phosphorylated Cellulose Nanocrystals: A Dual‐Affinity Platform for High‐Efficiency Enrichment of Intact Glycopeptides and Phosphopeptides

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
AAA ABSTRACT Protein glycosylation and phosphorylation are critical post‐translational modifications (PTMs) governing nearly all cellular functions, yet their analysis remains challenging due to reliance on costly and unsustainable enrichment materials.

Identification of a Ficolin-like Serum Lectin of the Common Carp as a Novel Homologue of Mammalian Microfibrillar-Associated Protein 4

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Serum lectins in vertebrates play crucial roles in innate immunity as recognition molecules for pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). In mammals, two major lectins, mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and ficolin, both containing N-terminal collagen ...

Pathogen Strategies to Evade Innate Immune Response: A Signaling Point of View [PDF]

, 2012
An effective host defense against pathogens requires appropriate recognition of the invading microorganism by immune cells, conducing to an inflammatory process that involves recruitment of leukocytes to the site of infection, activation of ...

Glucose metabolic reprogramming as a driver of immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Glucose metabolic reprogramming is a central driver of immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment, orchestrating immune dysfunction through multiple interconnected mechanisms. Glucose competition establishes a selective bioenergetic hierarchy that constrains antitumour immunity, whereas lactate accumulation and its reciprocal crosstalk with ...

Lack of the pattern recognition molecule mannose-binding lectin increases susceptibility to influenza A virus infection [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern recognition innate immune molecule, inhibits influenza A virus infection in vitro. MBL deficiency due to gene polymorphism in humans has been associated with infection susceptibility.

Low ficolin-3 levels in early follow-up serum samples are associated with the severity and unfavorable outcome of acute ischemic stroke

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2011
Background A number of data indicate that the lectin pathway of complement activation contributes to the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. The lectin pathway may be triggered by the binding of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), ficolin-2 or ficolin-3 to ...

Association Between Polymorphisms rs11003125 and rs7096206 of the MBL2 Gene and the Stages of Hepatitis B Progression in Burkina Faso: A Comparative Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health burden, with disease progression influenced by host genetic and immune factors, including variants in the mannose‐binding lectin 2 (MBL2) gene. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MBL2 polymorphisms and clinical outcomes of HBV infection ...
