Role of the mannose-binding lectin in innate immunity.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 15 Jun 2003

Ezekowitz R Alan

Abstract excerpt

The ability to recognize infectious agents from self is intrinsic to innate immunity. One basic tenet of innate immunity is the evolution of classes of molecules that are termed "pattern-recognition" receptors and molecules. Many pattern-recognition molecules conspire together to protect the host in the first minutes and hours after exposure to an infectious challenge. The mannose-binding lectin (MBL; also termed...
