Mannose-binding lectin polymorphisms in clinical tuberculosis.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) mediates protection against infections by using the complement system, but certain microorganisms may increase infectivity by exploiting this host defense system. Thus, it has been speculated whether genetically determined low MBL levels may confer partial protection against certain intracellular microorganisms, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We investigated MBL alleles in 109...
