## Abstract The lectin pathway of the complement system is activated when Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) in complex with MASP‐2 binds microorganisms. Polymorphisms in both genes are responsible for low serum levels, which associate with increased risk of infection and autoimmune disease. The present s

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

## Abstract Mannan‐binding lectin‐associated serine protease‐2 (MASP‐2) is a serine protease involved in the activation of lectin complement pathway. The differential expression of MASP‐2 in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) was recently reported from our laboratory using differential

Objective. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have excess morbidity and mortality due to ischemic heart disease. It has been suggested that high serum levels of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and agalactosyl IgG (IgG-G0) are associated with increased inflammation in RA. MBL also enhances inflamma
