Mannose binding lectin (MBL) levels predict lung function decline in severe asthma

There is increasing evidence that activation of the complement system in asthma contributes to ongoing inflammation, tissue damage and airway remodeling. Mannose binding lectin (MBL) is a pattern recognition molecule that serves as the key mediator of the lectin pathway of complement activation. MBL...
