Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a circulating pattern recognition molecule involved in the
innate immune system that mediates phagocytosis and activates complement by binding to …

In this issue, Demirhan et al. presented the first report that describes the association of MBL-

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum protein whose low concentration is associated
with the occurrence of allele variants named MBL* B, MBL* C and MBL* D. The present …

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serum protein of innate immunity, with a central role in
the activation of the complement system through the lectin pathway. This protein is encoded …
