Serum Mannose-Binding Lectin Levels are Linked with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Disease

Serum Mannose-Binding Lectin Levels are Linked with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Disease

The innate immune response facilitates the quality of the adaptive immune response and is critical to an individual’s susceptibility to infection and disease. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma protein with anti-microbial properties that binds a wide range of pathogens to flag them for immune...

Zusammenfassung:The innate immune response facilitates the quality of the adaptive immune response and is critical to an individual’s susceptibility to infection and disease. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma protein with anti-microbial properties that binds a wide range of pathogens to flag them for immune destruction independent of antibodies. In this study, serum MBL levels were measured in 81 children
