Abstract excerpt
Previous studies showed that low expression of mannan-binding lectin C (MBL-C) in pigs was not due to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region of pig MBL2. In these studies, we compared the 5' flanking regions of porcine MBL1 (1907 bp) and MBL2 (1880 bp) in normal and diseased pigs with low or high hepatic expression of MBL2. Hepatic expression of MBL-C was very low in all pigs submitted for...
