Adding MASP1 to the lectin pathway—Leprosy association puzzle: Hints from gene polymorphisms and protein levels
BACKGROUND: Deposition of complement factors on Mycobacterium leprae may enhance phagocytosis. Such deposition may occur through the lectin pathway of complement. Three proteins of the lectin pathway are produced from the gene MASP1: Mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 1 (MASP-1) and MA...
