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

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
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

Molecular Pharming: Advances, Applications, and Future Prospects in Biotechnology and Medicine

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetically engineered plants incorporate the use of a novel bioreactor known as molecular pharming, which has a transformative view on the pharmaceutical industry. The technique enables mass production, at a low cost, and reproducibly of a large number of different protein‐based drugs, vaccines, and industrial enzymes. This review‐based study

Sterile Inflammation of Brain, due to Activation of Innate Immunity, as a Culprit in Psychiatric Disorders

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
Evidence has accumulated that the occurrence of psychiatric disorders is related to chronic inflammation. In support of this linkage, changes in the levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in the peripheral blood (PB) of ...

Therapeutic applications of mannan-binding lectin [PDF]

The Biochemist, 2003
Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is perhaps the best known of the collectins, a subfamily of C-type lectins possessing an additional collagen-like domain. MBL is thought to be an important component of innate immunity. Since the discovery, around 15 years ago, that MBL was identical to a factor responsible for the opsonization of baker's yeast in vitro, a ...

Differential activity of a lectin from Solieria filiformis against human pathogenic bacteria

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
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).

Dissection of the anti-Candida albicans mannan immune response using synthetic oligomannosides reveals unique properties of β-1,2 mannotriose protective epitopes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Candida albicans mannan consists of a large repertoire of oligomannosides with different types of mannose linkages and chain lengths, which act as individual epitopes with more or less overlapping antibody specificities. Although anti-C.

Complement lectin pathway components MBL and MASP-1 promote haemostasis upon vessel injury in a microvascular bleeding model

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundComplement lectin pathway components, in particular mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs) have been shown to interact with coagulation factors and contribute to clot formation.
