Abstract excerpt

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in innate immunity mediating phagocytosis and activating the MBL complement pathway. Few studies, conducted in adult populations, have shown that genetically determined low MBL levels may confer partial protection against tuberculosis (TB). In this study we aimed to investigate the relationships between the susceptibility to TB and two low producing MBL2 gene...
