Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new way to stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells. Using molecules known as AbLecs, which consist of a lectin attached to a tumor ...

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a critical serum protein of the innate immune system that recognises distinct carbohydrate signatures on pathogens, initiating the lectin pathway of the complement ...

Figure 1: Mannose-binding lectin (blue strands) can bind to sites on the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein on the cell membrane. One of the most striking features of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is that across all ...

“We believe that the lectin pathway plays a critical role in brain injury as evidenced by our published data showing that Omeros’ MASP-2 inhibitor OMS721 significantly reduced brain infarct size and ...
