MBL deficiencyormannose-binding lectin deficiencyis an illness that has an impact on immunity. Low levels ofmannose-binding lectin,animmune systemprotein, are present in the blood of those who have this illness. It's unclear if this deficiency increases the risk of recurrent infections in those who are affected.[1]

Signs and symptoms

[edit]

Specific infection susceptibility has been linked to low MBL levels.[2]This is especially true when it comes to chronic illnesses likecystic fibrosis,chemotherapy-induced neutropenia,and weakened immunity, which are all present in the neonatal period.[3]Moreover,septic shockand death have been connected to MBL deficiency.[4]

Causes

[edit]

Mannose-binding lectin deficiency can result from mutations in theMBL2gene.[1]

Mechanism

[edit]

Mannose-binding lectin(MBL) is a solubleinnate immune systempattern recognition molecule.[5]MBL activates the complementlectin pathwayby binding toglycoconjugateson the surface of a variety of clinically significant bacteria, viruses, and fungi that containmannose,fucose,orN-acetylglucosamine.[6][7]MBL stimulatesleucocytechemotaxisand activation as well asphagocytosisthroughcomplement activation.[8][9]Additionally, MBL may contribute to the resolution of lung inflammation byapoptosiscell clearance and proinflammatorycytokinesecretion suppression.[10][11]

Epidemiology

[edit]

Depending on the definition of deficiency, MBL deficiency affects 10–30% of individuals, making it one of the most prevalent immune defects.[12]
