Human mannan‐binding lectin inhibits the infection of influenza A virus without complement
Mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) is a C‐type serum lectin that is believed to play an important role in innate immunity. It is one of the collectin family, which is characterized by having a collagen‐like… Expand
Polyclonal expansion of TCRBV2‐ and TCRBV6‐bearing T cells in patients with Kawasaki disease
We examined T‐cell receptor (TCR) usage, cytokine production and antibody responses to superantigens in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) to facilitate a better understanding of the… Expand
Papillary renal cell carcinoma: clinicopathological characteristics and evaluation of prognosis in 42 patients
To determine the clinicopathological characteristics of histologically defined papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in relation to prognosis.
