Substitution of Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL)-Deficient Serum With Recombinant MBL Results in the Formation of New MBL/MBL-Associated Serine Protease Complexes [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The lectin pathway (LP) of complement activation depends on the activation of the MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs) circulating in complex with mannan-binding lectin (MBL). MBL deficiency is the most common complement deficiency and has been associated with several pathological conditions.

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine protease-2 in children with cancer.

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2011
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) are two key components of the lectin-pathway of complement-activation. Information on the potential role of lectin-pathway components in carcinogenesis versus

Drug Resistance Mechanism among Acinetobacter Species

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2021
Acinetobacter species cause infections that are difficult to control due to multi-drug resistance and are noted for their intrinsic resistance to antibiotics and for their ability to acquire genes encoding resistance for the production of beta-lactamases

Natural History of Monoclonal B-cell Lymphocytosis (MBL) Among Relatives in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Families.

Blood, 2020
CLL has one of the highest familial-risks among cancers. MBL, the precursor to CLL, has a higher prevalence (13-18%) in families with two or more members with CLL compared to the general population (5-12%).

Size-selective molecular recognition based on a confined DNA molecular sieve using cavity-tunable framework nucleic acids

Nature Communications, 2020
Size-selective discrimination is an issue in biosensing. Here, the authors report on a size selective DNA nanocage which excludes agents based on size and protects the probes against degradation, and demonstrate the discrimination between mature and ...

Complement Activation and Thrombin Generation by MBL Bound to β2-Glycoprotein I

Journal of Immunology, 2020
Key Points MBL interacts with bound β2-GPI. The MBL/β2-GPI complex activates the lectin pathway of the complement system. Complement activated by the MBL/β2-GPI complex promotes thrombin generation.

Long term seasonal dynamics of Synechococcus population structure in the Gulf of Aqaba, Northern Red Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Spatial patterns of marine Synechococcus diversity across ocean domains have been reported on extensively. However, much less is known of seasonal and multiannual patterns of change in Synechococcus community composition.
