Variable effects of cyclophosphamide in rodent models of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

abstract：:An association between mannan-binding lectin (MBL) status and severity of lung function impairment in cystic fibrosis (CF) has been found in several studies, but not in others. To explore the possible basis for discrepancies in the literature, we related both MBL and L-ficolin concentrations to lung function and exami...
