Critical role of lectin pathway mediated by MBL-associated serine proteases in complement activation for the pathogenesis in systemic lupus erythematosus

In complement activation system, although the classical pathway has shown to play a critical role for the pathogenesis of SLE, the role of lectin pathway has remained unknown in the pathogenesis of SLE. As Mannose-binding lectin-associated serine proteases (MASPs) are associated with activation of t...
