Abstract excerpt
Ficolin-2 (L-ficolin), derived from the FCN2 gene, is an innate immunity pattern recognition molecule found in human serum in which inter-individual variation in serum appears to be under genetic control. To validate and extend this finding, we developed a sandwich ELISA for detection of human Ficolin-2 in serum samples and identified FCN2 genotypes with a Taq Man-based minor groove binder assay and by...
