The level of mannan-binding protein regulates the binding of complement-derived opsonins to mannan and zymosan at low serum concentrations [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1990 SUMMARY When sera diluted to 5% in a buffer containing calcium and magnesium were incubated with mannancoated ELISA plates, C4 fragments, properdin and factor B were bound to the plates as well as the expected opsonic C3 fragments, C3b and C3bi.

Antibodies against Listerial Protein 60 Act as an Opsonin for Phagocytosis ofListeria monocytogenesby Human Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2001 ABSTRACTHuman-monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC) are very efficient in the uptake ofListeria monocytogenes, a gram-positive bacterium which is an important pathogen in humans and animals causing systemic infections with symptoms such as septicemia and meningitis.

Immunophysical Evaluation of the Initiating Step in the Formation of the Membrane Attack Complex
Frontiers in Physics, 2018 The complex between complement system proteins C5b and C6 is the cornerstone for the assembly of the membrane attack complex (MAC, also known as C5b6789n). MAC is the terminal product of three converging pathways of the complement system and functions as

The level of the serum opsonin, mannan-binding protein in HIV-1 antibody-positive patients
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1995 SUMMARYThe concentrations of mannan-binding protein (MBP) in consecutive samples from 10 HIV+ persons were estimated using an ELISA based on polyclonal rabbit anti-MBP. The changes in MBP with time were similar in HIV+ and HIV− persons, and did not appear to be of clinical significance.

Evaluation of a Multivalent Artificial Opsonin to Target and Phagocytose Gram-Negative Bacteria [PDF]
, 2020 Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2020Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a significant medical concern that must be tackled. HAIs cost the United States billions of dollars annually, and in 2002, were the sixth-leading cause of death [1-2]
