Lack of the pattern recognition molecule mannose-binding lectin increases susceptibility to influenza A virus infection
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern recognition innate immune molecule, inhibits influenza A virus infection in vitro. MBL deficiency due to gene polymorphism in humans has been associated with infection susceptibility. These clinical observations were confirmed by animal model studi...
