Mannose-binding lectin is a disease modifier in clinical malaria and may function as opsonin for Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes

, 2003
Udgivelsesdato: 2003-SepVariant alleles in the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene (mbl2) causing low levels of functional MBL are associated with susceptibility to different infections and are common in areas where malaria is endemic.

Assay for phenoloxidase activity in Ambiyomma americanum, Dermacentor variabilis, and Ixodes scapularis

, 1997
Phenoloxidase activity in Amblyomma americanum. Dermacentor variabilis, and Ixodes scapularis was assayed. No phenoloxidase activity was detected compared to high activity through time in larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella).

The effect of mannose-binding protein gene polymorphisms in recurrent respiratory system infections in children and lung tuberculosis

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2003
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is able to bind pathogens as an opsonin and plays an important role in the innate immunity. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequencies of the MBL gene variants in the Turkish population and to ...

Structural insights into C3 convertase activity of the classical pathway of complement

Nature Communications
Immune protection by the complement system depends on C3 cleavage by C3 convertases that is critical to all three activation pathways. Structural data on convertase formation in the classical pathway and on C3-substrate binding to convertases is lacking.

An extracorporeal blood-cleansing device for sepsis therapy

, 2014
Here we describe a blood-cleansing device for sepsis therapy inspired by the spleen, which can continuously remove pathogens and toxins from blood without first identifying the infectious agent.

Defective serum opsonization activity in children aged 6-48 months having acute purulent otitis media

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
Serum opsonization of yeast (Saccharomyces) was investigated in 51 patients whose ages were between six and 48 months (median 15 months) with acute purulent otitis media and in an age-matched control group (median 13 months).
