Mannan-binding lectin and RSV lower respiratory tract infection leading to hospitalization in children: a case-control study from Soweto, South Africa.

Scandinavian journal of immunology - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important microbiological cause of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in infants. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is believed to play a major protective role in the vulnerable period in infancy where the maternal antibodies have been catabolized, and the adaptive immune system has not yet matured. Mutations in the promoter region and in exon 1 of the gene-encoding...
