Mannan-binding lectin--a soluble pattern recognition molecule.

Molecular immunology - 1 Jun 2004

Gadjeva Mihaela, Takahashi Kazue, Thiel Steffen

Abstract excerpt

The immune system must discriminate between self and non-self. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a recognition molecule able to differentiate between the carbohydrates found on self glycoproteins and the carbohydrate patterns found on infectious non-self surfaces. It exists in a complex with MBL-associated serine proteases (MASPs). When MBL binds to suitable carbohydrate pattern it causes activation of MASPs leading...
