Ureaplasma urealyticum binds mannose-binding lectin

Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 2004
Mannose-binding C-type lectin (MBL) is an important component of innate immunity in mammals. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), an acute phase protein, acts as an opsonin for phagocytosis and also activates the mannan-binding lectin complement pathway. It may play a particularly significant role during infancy before adequate specific protection can be ...

The role of mannose-binding lectin in health and disease

Molecular Immunology, 2003
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a pattern recognition molecule of the innate immune system. It belongs to the collectin family of proteins in which lectin (carbohydrate-recognition) domains are found in association with collagenous structures. In man, these proteins include serum MBL, lung surfactant protein A (SP-A) and lung surfactant protein D (SP-D)
