Disease relevance of Mbl1

  • We infected MBL-A and MBL-C double knock-out mice (DKO) with HSV-2 via the intraperitoneal (i.p.) route [1].
  • We found MBL-A null mice had enhanced survival in a septic peritonitis model compared to wild-type mice and complement 3 null mice at 24 h, 48 h and 10 d (P < 0.05) [2].
  • We conclude that MBL-A deficiency does not alter resistance to disseminated candidiasis or initial hepatic invasion by P. yoelii [3].

Biological context of Mbl1

 

Anatomical context of Mbl1

  • In addition to liver, S-MBP mRNA was detected in lung, kidney, and testis, and L-MBP mRNA was detected in kidney, thymus, and small intestine [9].
  • In vitro studies indicate that bacteria opsonized with MBL-A-deficient serum induced significantly less cytokine by peritoneal macrophages compared to those with wild-type serum [2].
  • In the sensitized MBL-A-/- mice, whole lung T helper cell type 2 cytokine levels were significantly decreased at day 4 after conidia, and whole lung interferon-gamma levels were significantly increased at day 28 after conidia when compared with controls [10].
  • These results suggest the presence of a special antigenic marker on activated murine T and B cells which differs from the generally recognized cell surface antigens, such as H-2, Ig, Ala-I, idiotype, Thy-I, MBLA, MTLA, Lyt-1,2,3, and others [11].
 

Associations of Mbl1 with chemical compounds

  • Characterization of murine mannose-binding protein genes Mbl1 and Mbl2 reveals features common to other collectin genes [8].
  • The sequence of 14 NH2-terminal amino acid residues of the molecule showed 93% identity to rat MBP-A and complete identity to the translated cDNA sequences for mouse MBP-A and mouse Ra-reactive factor component P28b (RaRF P28b) published previously [12].
  • A major cell surface glycoprotein bearing S-MBP ligands was isolated and identified as CD45RO, which is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine phosphatase activity [7].
  • On sucrose density gradient centrifugation the sedimentation velocities of MBL-A and MBL-C were estimated at 7.3 S and 10.8 S, respectively [13].
  • After the induction of acute phase responses by intraperitoneal injection of either casein or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), MBL-A was found to increase approximately two-fold, with a maximum after 32 h, while MBL-C did not increase significantly [13].
