Abstract excerpt
Mannose binding lectin (MBL) binding initiates activation of the lectin complement pathway. Recent studies from our laboratory have demonstrated that MBL-dependent complement activation mediates cellular injury following oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro. A panel of novel inhibitory monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against MBL (e.g., MAb 3F8, 2A9, and hMBL1.2) has been developed that inhibit MBL binding and...
