Lectin-dependent enhancement of Ebola virus infection via soluble and transmembrane C-type lectin receptors.

Lectin-dependent enhancement of Ebola virus infection via soluble and transmembrane C-type lectin receptors.

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key soluble effector of the innate immune system that recognizes pathogen-specific surface glycans. Surprisingly, low-producing MBL genetic variants that may predispose children and immunocompromised individuals to infectious diseases are more common than would be e...
