Introduction to mannan-binding lectin
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) was first discovered as a plasma opsonin for baker's yeast and was independently characterized biochemically. It belongs to the small subfamily of collectins: C-type lectins possessing a collagen-like domain. MBL is synthesized by the liver and secreted into the bloodstream.

Mannan-binding lectin in malignancy
Molecular Immunology, 2013Complement may play a dual role in cancer: it may contribute either to the development or to the inhibition of tumour growth. Its components may be candidate biomarkers facilitating the disease detection, its progress or effectiveness of therapy. Additionally, complement deficiencies may increase the risk of infections and contribute to the higher ...

Quantification of mannan-binding lectin
Journal of Immunological Methods, 2006Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is attracting considerable interest due to its role in the immune defense. The high frequency of congenital MBL deficiency makes it feasible to evaluate clinical relevance through epidemiological investigations on fairly limited numbers of patients.

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, 2000
The interaction of four lectins from crops of the legume family with Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mannan, and also with two glycoenzymes containing mainly alpha-mannan moieties, has been studied. The interaction was characterized by a quantitative precipitation assay.

Mannan-Binding lectin in asthma and allergy
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2006Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a vital and versatile component of innate immunity. It is present in serum and may bind to a plethora of microbial pathogens and mediate opsonization of these by complement-dependent and/or independent mechanisms. Low-MBL levels in serum, attributed to certain genetic polymorphisms, constitute a major factor predisposing ...

Immunochemistry of Candida Mannans
1991The first description on the serological heterogeneity in C. albicans was published by Hasenclever and Mitchell (1961). These workers revealed that this species could be classified into two serotypes, A and B, as judged from the results of agglutination assay between the cells of large number of C.
