Interaction Properties of Human Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL)-Associated Serine Proteases-1 and -2, MBL-Associated Protein 19, and MBL [PDF]
Abstract The mannan-binding lectin (MBL) activation pathway of complement plays an important role in the innate immune defense against pathogenic microorganisms. In human serum, two MBL-associated serine proteases (MASP-1, MASP-2) and MBL-associated protein 19 (MAp19) were found to be associated with MBL.

Reconstitution of Opsonizing Activity by Infusion of Mannan‐Binding Lectin (MBL) to MBL‐Deficient Humans [PDF]
Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL, previously named mannan‐binding protein, MBP) is a serum collectin, which activates complement upon binding to microbial carbohydrates. This results in opsonization of the micro‐organisms as well as direct complement‐mediated killing.

Mannose-Binding Lectin (MBL) Facilitates Opsonophagocytosis of Yeasts but Not of Bacteria despite MBL Binding [PDF]
Abstract Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum protein of the innate immune system. After binding to a microorganism, MBL in complex with MBL-associated serine proteases activates the complement system, resulting in cleavage of complement factor C3.
