Effects of Dietary Immunomodulation on Parasite Load in Commercial Crossbred Lambs
… of the study. Increases in eosinophils and mannose binding lectin-C were observed in lambs receiving CelmanaxRTM indicating upregulation of innate immune responses. CelmanaxRTM alone reduced TNF-&agr; mRNA within fundic mucosa, aiding in the polarization of a TH2 immune response. …

Isolation and characterization of a novel lectin gene, Allium triquetrum agglutin, conferring insecticidal properties against Myzus persicae
… of widely-distributed plant proteins, termed lectins, have been recently studied because of their insecticidal properties against aphids. Snowdrop lectin, Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) was the first isolated monocot mannose-binding lectin, conferring properties of resistance to …

Engineering Nanoparticulate Antigens for Enhanced Follicular Accumulation and Immunogenicity
… dependent on complement recognition mediated by mannose-binding lectin (MBL) binding to glycans on the surface of the nanoparticles. Accumulation within follicles was positively associated with multiple immune response outputs. Trafficking was found to occur in a variety of nanoparticles of …

Candidate genes other than the CFTR gene as possible modifiers of pulmonary disease severity in cystic fibrosis
… (alpha-1-AT), 2) innate immunity genes: mannose binding lectin (MBL2) (promoter [G→C] at -221 and codon 52 (Arg52Cys, D allele), 54 (Gly54Asp, B allele), and 57 (Gly57Glu, C allele), and pulmonary surfactant genes SPA-1 (Arg219Trp), SPA-2 (Thr9Asn, Lys223Gln) and SPD (Thr11Met), 3) …

Genetic Effect of MBL2 Polymorphisms in Patients with Diisocyanate-induced Occupational Asthma
… to the formation of a complement-activating mannose-binding lectin (MBL) ligand on human endothelial cells. MBL initiates the lectin complement activation pathway following oxidative stress and generate complement cascade, which is involved in chronic airway inflammation. MATERIALS AND …

The Ligand and Function of the RegIII Family of Bactericidal C-Type Lectins
… screen revealed that expression of two C-type lectins, RegIIIbeta and RegIIIgamma , is strongly induced following intestinal colonization with resident microbes. Two features suggested that members of the RegIII family may have microbicidal functions. First, they are C-type lectin family …

A generic pathogen capture technology for sepsis diagnosis
… the development of a natural human opsonin - Mannose Binding Lectin (MBL) - as a generic pathogen capture molecule. MBL is found in human blood and is part of the innate immune system; it has been previously shown to bind over 90 different types of pathogens, including gram negative and …

The Role of Complement in Ischemic Heart Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… that the complement system, predominantly the lectin pathway, is a significant contributor to the excessive response of the Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF), a rat model of T2DM, to myocardial I/R injury. Following 30min of coronary artery occlusion and 120min of reperfusion we measured C3 …
