More than 60 years later, the Normandy Invasion, or D-Day, remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving nearly three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.
The clinical heterogeneity observed in leptospirosis may be associated with host factors or bacteria virulence. Human serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL) recognizes many pathogens, and low levels of this lectin are associated with susceptibility to infection. MBL is also implicated in the modulation of the inflammatory process. We determined the levels of serum MBL during leptospirosis infection.
In a direct comparison. with glutathione S-transferase (GST) and thioredoxin, maltose-binding protein. (MBP) was decidedly superior at solubilizing a diverse collection of aggrega-. tion-prone passenger proteins (3). Moreover, some of these proteins were able.
