Abstract excerpt

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of congenital infections among neonates. About 10% of newborns with such an infection have clinical symptoms at birth and about 1% of infected fetuses die due to developmental malformations. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is considered to be an important factor in innate immunity. Its deficiency is believed to predispose to various (including viral) infections. The aim of...
