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 ...

The Mannose-Binding Lectin: An Infection Susceptibility Gene [PDF]
, 2005 A critical but unanswered question is what defines each individual’s pre-morbid susceptibility to infection? w e propose that individuals must have an “immune haplotype” that shapes their response to infectious agents. Infection is a balance between the intrinsic virulence of the infectious agent and the host defenses.

The Third Dimension of Reading the Sugar Code by Lectins [PDF]
, 2013 Coding of biological information is not confined to nucleic acids and proteins. Endowed with the highest level of structural versatility among biomolecules, the glycan chains of cellular glycoconjugates are well-suited to generate molecular messages ...

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.

Carbohydrate Detection and Lectin Isolation from Tegumental Tissue of Fasciola hepatica [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2010 Background: Fascioliasis is a chronic hepatic disease and may be resulted from mechanical/molecular parasite adhesion to host liver tissue. The aim of this study was to detect surface carbohydrate and lectin, carbohydrate-binding protein isolation that

The distribution of lectins across the phylum Nematoda : a genome-wide search [PDF]
, 2017 Nematodes are a very diverse phylum that has adapted to nearly every ecosystem. They have developed specialized lifestyles, dividing the phylum into free-living, animal, and plant parasitic species. Their sheer abundance in numbers and presence in nearly
