The complement lectin pathway after cardiac arrest [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2018 AbstractThe lectin pathway (LP) of the complement system may initiate inflammatory reactions when body tissue is altered. We aimed to investigate the levels of the LP proteins in out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest patients, and to compare these with healthy individuals.

The Complement System of Agnathans
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Agnathans (lamprey and hagfish) are a group of primitive jawless fish. Jawed vertebrates possess adaptive immunity including immunoglobulins, while agnathans lack immunoglobulins but have alternative adaptive immunity in which variable lymphocyte ...

Isolation and characterization of novel primary cells from the human distal outflow pathway
Scientific Reports, 2021 Ocular hypertension occurs due to increased resistance to aqueous humor removal through the conventional outflow pathway. Unlike the proximal region of the conventional outflow pathway, the distal region has not been well studied, mostly due to lack of ...

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2021 Activation of the complement system is mediated by the interaction between pathogens and pattern recognition molecules (PRMs); mannose-binding lectin (MBL), ficolins, and collectin-10/-11 from the lectin pathway and C1q from the classical pathway. Lectin

Enhancement of lectin pathway haemolysis by immunoglobulins
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1999 SUMMARYWe recently reported that indicator sheep erythrocytes (E) coated with mannan and sensitized with mannan-binding lectin (MBL) (E-M-MBL) are lysed by human serum in the absence of calcium via the lectin pathway of complement activation by a process which requires alternative pathway amplification and is associated with increased binding of and ...

International Journal of Molecular SciencesThe complement system is the other major proteolytic cascade in the blood of vertebrates besides the coagulation–fibrinolytic system. Among the three main activation routes of complement, the lectin pathway (LP) has been discovered the latest, and it is ...

Complement Activation via the Lectin and Alternative Pathway in Patients With Severe COVID-19
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Complement plays an important role in the direct defense to pathogens, but can also activate immune cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, in critically ill patients with COVID-19 the immune system is inadequately activated leading

Research advances on plant lectin receptor-like kinases in abiotic stress response
Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023 Plants are exposed to various stress during their growth and development, and abiotic stress is one of the most significant factors. Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are widely present in plants that can quickly and effectively respond to stress, ultimately ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Ecotin is a serine protease inhibitor produced by hundreds of microbial species, including pathogens. Here we show, that ecotin orthologs from Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Leishmania major are potent inhibitors of MASP-1 ...
