The role of the mannose-binding lectin in innate immunity.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 15 Nov 2005

Takahashi Kazue, Ezekowitz R Alan B

Abstract excerpt

The innate immune system, which includes mannose-binding lectin (MBL), recognizes a broad range of molecular patterns on a broad range of infectious agents and is able to distinguish them from self. MBL is a liver-derived serum protein and is secreted into the serum, where it can activate an immune response before the induction of antigen-specific immunity. Circumstantial evidence in human populations suggests...
