Abstract:
Mannan binding lectin (MBL) is an innate immune mediator belonging to the collectin family known to bind to the surface of many viruses, bacteria and fungi. Many researches show that MBL is associated with many autoimmune diseases. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are related with innate individual immunity. This article reviews the recent researches on the association of MBL with IBD.
