In this study, a lectin-based complement system, similar to that in the lectin pathway triggered by MBL and ficolins, is shown to be present in ascidians - our closest invertebrate relatives. This suggests that the complement system played a pivotal role in innate immunity before the evolution of an acquired immune system.

This also shows that MBL deficiency is a susceptibility factor for acquisition of SARS.

This study supports the contention that MBL has a dual role in modifying inflammatory responses to sterile and infectious injuries.
