Mannan-Binding Lectin Serum Levels in 593 Healthy Iranian Children and Adults
Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a vital protein of innate immune system and has two critical functions: complement activation through the lectin pathway and opsonization.

MASP-1 induces a unique cytokine pattern in endothelial cells: a novel link between complement system and neutrophil granulocytes. [PDF]
Microbial infection urges prompt intervention by the immune system. The complement cascade and neutrophil granulocytes are the predominant contributors to this immediate anti-microbial action.

ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from tissues can be found in human biofluids. EVs reflect the phenotypic state of their cell of origin, carrying informative molecular biomarkers within and between tissues, and represent a promising target for liquid biopsy.

Challenge Specific Modulation of Responses to Adjuvant‐Induced Innate Immune Memory
We utilised a commercially available adjuvant formulation to study the induction, maintenance, and consequences of innate immune memory. Using functional assays on bone marrow‐derived innate cells, extensive transcriptomic analysis of haematopoietic progenitors, and challenge models of spirochetal infection, nonspecific inflammation, and model antigen ...

Covalent Activation of the C‐type Lectin DC‐SIGN
We introduce the first covalent activators of a C‐type lectin. Using orthogonal functional assays, NMR, MS/MS, and computational modeling, we delineate mechanisms from a functional electrophile‐first screen on dendritic cell‐specific intercellular adhesion molecule‐3‐grabbing non‐integrin (DC‐SIGN) that yields two modes: N‐hydroxysuccinimide (NHS ...

Mannan-binding lectin concentration during normal human pregnancy [PDF]
Relative deficiency of mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is associated with recurrent miscarriage. To investigate whether MBL concentration alters as a result of pregnancy, serial measurements were made in 14 patients before and during normal early pregnancy.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Immunity against fungal beta 1,3 glucan carbohydrate in the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a debilitating, life- long disease that affects about 1.4 millions Americans. Little is known about the pathogenesis of IBD and an effective cure still remains to be discovered.
