Soluble Host Defense Lectins in Innate Immunity to Influenza Virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Host defenses against viral infections depend on a complex interplay of innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific) components. In the early stages of infection, innate mechanisms represent the main line of host defense, acting to limit the spread of ...

A human mannose-binding protein is an acute-phase reactant that shares sequence homology with other vertebrate lectins [published erratum appears in J Exp Med 1991 Sep 1;174(3):753]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1988
Mannose-binding proteins have been isolated from the liver of rats and humans and subsequently been found in the serum of rats, rabbits, and humans. We report the isolation of cDNA clones isolated from a human liver cDNA library that encodes a human ...

Uncovering the role of genetic polymorphisms in cervical insufficiency

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Pathways and genes implicated in CI pathogenesis. Abstract Cervical insufficiency (CI) is characterized by spontaneous dilation of the cervix in the absence of painful uterine contractions in the mid‐trimester, leading to premature delivery. It is responsible for up to 20% of second trimester pregnancy losses, mostly <24 weeks.

Differential carbohydrate recognition by Campylobacter jejuni strain 11168: influences of temperature and growth conditions. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The pathogenic clinical strain NCTC11168 was the first Campylobacter jejuni strain to be sequenced and has been a widely used laboratory model for studying C. jejuni pathogenesis. However, continuous passaging of C.

Acute Toxicity and Genotoxicity of cMoL, a Lectin From Moringa oleifera Seeds With Antifungal Activity Against Cryptococcus Strains

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coagulant Moringa oleifera lectin (cMoL) is one of the compounds involved in the application of M. oleifera seeds for traditional water treatment methods. The present study highlights the new biotechnological potential of cMoL lectin as an antifungal agent against Cryptococcus neoformans B3501 and H99 and Cryptococcus gattii R265 strains ...

Mass Spectrometry in the Elucidation of the Glycoproteome of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Presently some three hundred post-translational modifications are known to occur in bacteria in vivo. Many of these modifications play critical roles in the regulation of proteins and control key biological processes.

The Role of the Mannose-Binding Lectin in Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2005
The innate immune system, which includes mannose-binding lectin (MBL), recognizes a broad range of molecular patterns on a broad range of infectious agents and is able to distinguish them from self. MBL is a liver-derived serum protein and is secreted into the serum, where it can activate an immune response before the induction of antigen-specific ...
