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

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Interaction of C1q and Mannan-Binding Lectin with Viruses
As soluble recognition molecules of innate immunity, C1q and MBL are able to bind directly to various viruses, including retroviruses and influenza viruses. Interaction of C1q with retroviruses and certain infected cells was shown to involve the globular region of C1q and viral envelope glycoproteins, such as p15E of MuLV, gp41 and gp120 of HIV-1, gp21

GCI‐Based Affinity Screening of Synthetic Oligomannosides toward Concanavalin A
This study describes the development of a reliable GCI method for the affinity determination of neo‐glycoproteins toward concanavalin A (ConA), a model lectin. The final goal is to investigate multivalent carbohydrate–lectin interactions. Abstract Herein, we report the first application of grating‐coupled interferometry (GCI) to quantify the binding ...

Differential activity of a lectin from Solieria filiformis against human pathogenic bacteria
A lectin isolated from the red alga Solieria filiformis was evaluated for its effect on the growth of 8 gram-negative and 3 gram-positive bacteria cultivated in liquid medium (three independent experiments/bacterium).

Engineered antibody‐like proteins block the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein from binding to host receptors and suppress immune overactivation through an MBL‐based scaffold. These dual‐function proteins effectively alleviate inflammation, complement activation, and lung injury, offering a promising therapeutic strategy against severe COVID‐19 and its ...
