摘要
先天免疫系统在微生物感染和组织再生过程中产生的炎症反应,可以起调节作用。甘露糖结合凝集素(MBL)是先天免疫系统启动的一个激活补体凝集素途径的主要组成部分之一。补体系统的激活也与许多人类疾病有关。因此,我们总结了寄血清甘露糖结合凝集素早期检测的预后价值(MBL)及其含量的测定。变异MBL2基因和MBL基因多态性相关的单核苷酸替换导致了感染风险增加。根据现有的证据,MBL在人类的作用是双方面的;有时它的存在与病理条件恶化有关,而在其他情况下,它是机体防御系统的重要组成部分。血清浓度测定作为诊断标志物是妥善解决后血浆纯化或重组MBL的重要指标,这可能是一个潜在的治疗人类疾病的替代品。我们总结了在各种疾病的早期病理生理的关键作用, 发现MBL是一个新的治疗靶点。

摘要: The innate immune system plays a modulatory role in producing an inflammatory response during microbial infection and tissue regeneration. Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a predominant constituent of the innate immune system which initiates one of the complement activation, the lectin pathway. The activation of the complement system is also associated with many human diseases. We, therefore, try to summarize herewith the prognostic value of early detection of serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and measurement of its levels. The variant alleles and single nucleotide substitutions in MBL2 gene associated with MBL polymorphism are responsible for an increased risk of infection. Based on the currently available evidence, the role of MBL in humans is a double facet; sometimes its presence is associated with deterioration of the pathological condition while in other cases it is an important part of the body defense system. The importance of the determination of serum MBL as a diagnostic biomarker is duly addressed and then substitution of plasma-purified or recombinant MBL which can be a potential therapeutic for the treatment of human diseases is also highlighted. We have summarized in this article the pivotal roles of MBL in the early pathophysiology of various diseases and shown that MBL serves as a novel therapeutic target.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
