Association of Ficolin-2 Serum Levels and FCN2 Genetic Variants with Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (VL), one of the neglected tropical diseases, is endemic in the Indian subcontinent. Ficolins are circulating serum proteins of the lectin complement system and involved in innate immunity.MethodsWe have estimated ficolin-

H-Ficolin

, 2013
H-ficolin is a serum lectin synthesized (as a ~34 kDa polypeptide) predominantly by the liver and lung tissues and is one of the soluble pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system. It is structurally similar to L- and M- ficolins, but is different in its tissue expression and binding affinities to pathogenic ligands.

L-Ficolin

, 2013
L-ficolin is a serum lectin synthesized (as a ~37 kDa polypeptide) predominantly by the liver, and is one of the key molecules of the innate immune system. It has an amino (N)-terminal cysteine-rich region, a middle stretch of a collagen-like sequence, and a fibrinogen-like domain in the carboxy (C)-terminus.

The Primate Ficolins [PDF]

, 2010
Ficolins are pattern recognition molecules that share structural similarities with mannose-binding lectin (MBL), whose key function is to recognize carbohydrates on microorganisms or epitopes on dying host cells and subsequently are capable of activating the complement system, through the lectin pathway.

Emerging, non-PCV13 serotypes 11A and 35B of Streptococcus pneumoniae show high potential for biofilm formation in vitro

, 2015
Background: Since the use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines PCV7 and PCV13 in children became widespread, invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) has dramatically decreased.

Complement activation lectin pathway (mannose-binding lectin and ficolin) genes polymorphism as the risk factor of CagA positive chronic Helicobacter pylori infection in adolescents

Инфекция и иммунитет, 2020
Currently, features of the host immune response against Helicobacter pylori (Hp) both regarding establishment of chronic carriage after primary infection as well as a role of impaired immune and inflammatory response in the mechanisms of developing ...

Measurement Concentration of Ficolin-1 and Calprotectin for Serum and Swab in Tonsillitis Infection

Medical Journal of Babylon
Background: Tonsillitis is a common and widespread disease in children. It is related to the immunity of persons, so a group of people with tonsillitis was studied and the immunity associated with tonsillitis was studied by studying some immunological ...
