Increased plasma mannose binding lectin levels are associated with bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Long-term lung allograft survival is limited by bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Mannose binding lectin (MBL) belongs to the innate immune system, participates in complement activation, and may predispose to graft rejection....
