Distinct Pathways of Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL)- and C1-Complex Autoactivation Revealed by Reconstitution of MBL with Recombinant MBL-Associated Serine Protease-2 [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2000
Abstract Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) plays a pivotal role in innate immunity by activating complement after binding carbohydrate moieties on pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Structural similarities shared by MBL and C1 complexes and by the MBL- and C1q-associated serine proteases, MBL-associated serine protease (MASP)-1 and MASP-2 ...

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 immune surveillance of cancer is scarce.
