Adding MASP1 to the lectin pathway-Leprosy association puzzle: Hints from gene polymorphisms and protein levels.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BackgroundDeposition of complement factors on Mycobacterium leprae may enhance phagocytosis. Such deposition may occur through the lectin pathway of complement.

Development and characterization of narsoplimab, a selective MASP-2 inhibitor, for the treatment of lectin-pathway–mediated disorders

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionOveractivation of the lectin pathway of complement plays a pathogenic role in a broad range of immune-mediated and inflammatory disorders; mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) is the key effector enzyme of the lectin ...

Altered profile of glycosylated proteins in serum samples obtained from patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis following depletion of highly abundant proteins

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
ObjectivesHashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders; however, its underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. Although aberrant glycosylation has been implicated in the N-glycome of immunoglobulin G (IgG), changes

Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Cell-surface protein YwfG of Lactococcus lactis binds to α-1,2-linked mannose.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Lactococcus lactis strains are used as starter cultures in the production of fermented dairy and vegetable foods, but the species also occurs in other niches such as plant material. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis G50 (G50) is a plant-derived strain and

Mannan binding lectin: a two-faced regulator of renal allograft injury? [PDF]

Kidney International, 2013
Complement activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of renal allograft injury after kidney transplantation. There are three known pathways of complement activation, namely, classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. In renal allograft injury, contradictory results were reported about the role of the lectin pathway activated via mannan ...

Complement lectin pathway activation is associated with COVID-19 disease severity, independent of MBL2 genotype subgroups

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionWhile complement is a contributor to disease severity in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, all three complement pathways might be activated by the virus.

Association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with coronary artery disease and its progression is dependent on the modifying effect of mannose-binding lectin [PDF]

, 2002
Background— The possible association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and Chlamydia pneumoniae (C pneumoniae) infection is controversial. On the basis of the recent suggestion that mannose-binding lectin (MBL) variant alleles are related to an ...

Mannan-binding lectin and hepatitis C infection [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2003
SUMMARY Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis C infection unresponsive to treatment with interferon possessed genotypes disproportionately conferring low mannan-binding lectin (MBL) concentrations. Our aims were to confirm or refute this finding in European patients at the MBL protein level, and to investigate whether a low ...
