Fibrinogen-related proteins in ixodid ticks [PDF]
, 2011 Background Fibrinogen-related proteins with lectin activity are believed to be part of the tick innate immune system. Several fibrinogen-related proteins have been described and characterised mainly on the basis of their cDNA sequences while direct ...

Antimicrobial peptides and complement in neonatal hypoxia-ischemia induced brain damage [PDF]
, 2015 Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a clinical condition in the neonate, resulting from oxygen deprivation around the time of birth. HIE affects 1-5/1000 live births worldwide and is associated with the development of neurological deficits ...

Allelic lineages of the ficolin genes (FCNs) are passed from ancestral to descendant primates.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The ficolins recognize carbohydrates and acetylated compounds on microorganisms and dying host cells and are able to activate the lectin pathway of the complement system.

Proteomic analysis of mare follicular fluid during late follicle development [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Follicular fluid accumulates into the antrum of follicle from the early stage of follicle development. Studies on its components may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying follicular development and oocyte quality ...

AmpliSeq screening of genes encoding the C-Type lectin receptors and their signaling components reveals a common variant in MASP1 associated with pulmonary tuberculosis in an Indian population [PDF]
, 2018 Tuberculosis (TB) is a multifactorial disease governed by bacterial, host and environmental factors. On the host side, growing evidence shows the crucial role that genetic variants play in the susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection.

Ficolin-1–PTX3 Complex Formation Promotes Clearance of Altered Self-Cells and Modulates IL-8 Production [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2013 Abstract The long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has been shown to be important in maintaining internal tissue homeostasis and in protecting against fungal Aspergillus fumigatus infection. However, the molecular mechanisms of how these functions are elicited are poorly delineated.
