...H. Valdimarsson Our first experience of mannan-binding lectin (MBL)-replacement therapy was with a patient experiencing recurrent erythema multiforme associated with reactivation of herpes simplex virus; his erythematous eruptions could be controlled with infusions of fresh frozen plasma containing...

...I. Laursen Individuals with low levels of mannan-binding lectin (MBL) appear to be susceptible to infectious diseases. This suggests that substitution therapy with MBL might be a beneficial treatment of patients with MBL deficiency. A production process for an MBL product has been developed from...

...D.C. Kilpatrick Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) was first discovered as a plasma opsonin for baker's yeast and was independently characterized biochemically. It belongs to the small subfamily of collectins: C-type lectins possessing a collagen-like domain. MBL is synthesized by the liver and secreted...

...J.C. Jensenius; P.H. Jensen; K. McGuire; J.L. Larsen; S. Thiel Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma protein involved in the innate immune response. It binds to a number of micro-organisms and promotes killing of these through complement activation either directly or through opsonization...

...J.S. Presanis; M. Kojima; R.B. Sim Mannose- or mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a member of the collectin protein family, which includes lung surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-D. Each member consists of similar or identical polypeptide chains with a region of collagen-like sequence followed by a C-type...

...M. Siassi; W. Hohenberger; J. Riese Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a central component of the innate immune system. Here we investigated the role of MBL in surgical patients during the peri-operative phase. Basal and post-operative (days 1–3 post-surgery) serum samples were obtained prospectively...
