Adding <i>MASP1</i> to the lectin pathway – leprosy association puzzle: hints from gene polymorphisms and protein levels

2019-06-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Deposition of complement factors on Mycobacterium leprae may enhance phagocytosis. Such deposition may occur through the lectin pathway of complement. Three proteins of the lectin pathway are produced from the gene MASP1 : Mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 1 (MASP-1) and MASP-3 and mannan-binding lectin-associated protein of 44 kDa (MAp44). Despite their obv...
