Association of L-Ficolin Levels and FCN2 Genotypes with Chronic Chagas Disease
BACKGROUND: L-ficolin (encoded by FCN2) binds to acetylated sugar moieties of many pathogens, including Trypanosoma cruzi, promoting their phagocytosis and lysis by the complement system. METHODS: We investigated L-ficolin levels in 160 T. cruzi infected patients with chronic Chagas disease and 71 h...
