Background: Antibodies against mannan, a component of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall, are more frequently found in Crohn's disease (CD) patients with low levels of mannan-binding lectin (MBL). MBL concentration depends on genetic polymorphisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate whe

## Numerous studies have employed lectin binding patterns to investigate alterations in cell surface polysaccharide expression associated with malignant transformation. Cytostructural relocalization of peanut lectin ( Arachis hypogaea) binding sites from the cell surface to the cytoplasm has been de
Pemphigus is an autoimmune disease where both endogenous (genetic) and exogenous (environmental) factors play a part. Viral infections, in particular herpesvirus infections, have been identified as a possible triggering factor for pemphigus. In this study, using the polymerase chain reaction, we stu
