No association between mannose-binding lectin deficiency and H1N1 2009 infection observed during the first season of this novel pandemic influenza virus	2011-11-30		.txt	text/plain	2846	138	46	title: No association between mannose-binding lectin deficiency and H1N1 2009 infection observed during the first season of this novel pandemic influenza virus Therefore, we studied whether MBL deficiency played a role in infection with the novel H1N1 2009 influenza strain in exposed health care workers. This is countered, however, by the in vitro evidence of MBL's inhibition of influenza virus [3, 18] , recent evidence of MBL's role in the development of humoral immunity to influenza [19] , and clinical association studies that demonstrate that MBL deficiency predisposes not only to respiratory tract infection in general, but also to respiratory tract infections with viral pathogens like severe acute respiratory syndrome in particular [7] . Although we have not demonstrated a clinical association between MBL deficiency and predisposition to the novel H1N1 2009 influenza strain, this may be because of the absence of exposed MBL-binding sites on this specific virus.	./cache/cord-266739-oay8gbit.txt	./txt/cord-266739-oay8gbit.txt
