AIDS patients have increased surfactant protein D but normal mannose binding lectin levels in lung fluid. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) are collectins that have opsonic and immunoregulatory functions, are found in lung fluid and interact with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Identification of novel high mannose N-glycan isomers undescribed by current multicellular eukaryotic biosynthetic pathways [PDF]
N-linked glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins. Current knowledge of multicellular eukaryote N-glycan biosynthesis suggests high mannose N-glycans are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi ...

Mannose-binding lectin 2 polymorphisms do not influence frequency or type of infection in adults with chemotherapy induced neutropaenia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding Lectin protein (MBL) has been suggested to be relevant in the defence against infections in immunosuppressed individuals.

Abstract Review on mannose receptor as an endocytic receptor in antigen delivery that is co-expressed with the microRNA miR-511-3p encoded within the Mrc1 gene. The MR is a highly effective endocytic receptor with a broad binding specificity encompassing ligands of microbial and endogenous origin and a poorly characterized

Characterization and downstream mannose phosphorylation of human recombinant α-L-iduronidase produced in Arabidopsis complex glycan-deficient (cgl) seeds [PDF]
This work was supported by a Wellcome Trust award to TMG.Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I is a lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) (EC 3.2.1.76); enzyme replacement therapy is the conventional treatment for this ...

Fast antibody responses by immuno-targeting and nanotechnology strategies versus HBsAg vaccine [PDF]
Objective(s): Though immunization with HBsAg has been routine since the 1980s, it has numerous limitations such as low or none humoral immune responses. Today, nanotechnology is used in vaccinology to achieve higher potency.

Association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with coronary artery disease and its progression is dependent on the modifying effect of mannose-binding lectin [PDF]
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 ...
