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.

A procoagulant chemically sulfated mannan
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2016Disorders of hemostasis can produce innumerous problems. Polysaccharides have been studied both as anticoagulant and as procoagulant agents. A mannan with a main chain of α-(1 → 6)-linked-Manp units, branched at O-2 mainly by side-chains of 2-O-linked-α-Manp units was chemically sulfated, structurally characterized by NMR and GC-MS (methylation ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Assays for the Mannan‐Binding Lectin Pathway
Current Protocols in Immunology, 2003AbstractThis unit contains protocols that can be used to measure mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) levels and MBL pathway activity in human plasma or serum. Using a modification of the conventional ELISA, the detection reagent used in the methods described (e.g., an antibody or streptavidin) is labeled with Eu3+ instead of an enzyme.

A particulate enzyme system, isolated from growing orchid tubers (Orchis morio), was shown to catalyse the transfer of mannose from guanosine-diphosphate-mannose-14C and its incorporation into alkali-insoluble mannan with the same type of linkage [β(1 → 4)-d-mannopyranosyl] as is contained in the naturally-occurring reserve polysaccharide.
