Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a plasma protein found in association with several serine
proteases (MASPs) forming the MBL complex. MBL recognises carbohydrate structures …

Amyloids are highly abundant in many microbial biofilms and may play an important role in
their architecture. Nevertheless, little is known of the amyloid proteins. We report the …

Various factors affecting mannose selection for the production of transgenic plants were studied
using Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L…

The mannan-binding lectin (MBL) pathway of complement activation has been established
as the third pathway of complement activation. MBL is a carbohydrate-binding serum protein, …

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) plays a pivotal role in innate immunity by activating complement
after binding carbohydrate moieties on pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Structural …

The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a member of the immunoglobulin
superfamily of cell surface proteins that has been implicated as a progression factor in a …

The antioxidant enzyme extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is mainly found in the
extracellular matrix of tissues. EC-SOD participates in the detoxification of reactive oxygen …

The activation of complement via the mannan-binding lectin (MBL) pathway is initiated by the
MBL complex consisting of the carbohydrate binding molecule, MBL, two associated serine …

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) and C1q activate the complement cascade via attached serine
proteases. The proteases C1r and C1s were initially discovered in a complex with C1q, …

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) inhibits the formation of blood vessels in the eye
by inducing apotosis in actively dividing endothelial cells. The activity of PEDF equals or …
