MBL2 genetic polymorphisms and HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission in Zambia.

Immunologic research - 1 Jun 2016

Abstract excerpt

Since antiretroviral drugs have been introduced to prevent mother-to-child transmission, the risk of HIV-1 infection in infants has decreased considerably worldwide. Nevertheless, many factors are involved in viral transmission and host susceptibility to infection. The immune system and its components, including mannose binding protein C (encoding by MBL2 gene), are already known to play an important role in this...
