-Mannose Binding Lectin is a PAMP secreted by the liver. It has a similar structure to C1q hence why it activates the complement system via the mannose binding pathway. It opsonizes a pathogen for phagocytosis.
+Mannose Binding Lectin is a PAMP secreted by the liver and is an **acute phase protein** secreted in response to inflammatory cytokines such as Il-6. It has a similar structure to C1q hence why it activates the complement system via the mannose binding pathway. **It opsonizes a pathogen for phagocytosis**.
