Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in innate immunity. Functional mutant homozygotes of the MBL gene affect the serum MBL levels and have been correlated with disease susceptibility. We have studied the regulatory role of variant MBL genotypes on serum MBL level and macrophage phagocytosis with live Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the lymphoproliferative response to M. tuberculosis culture...
