Collectin-mediated antiviral host defense of the lung: evidence from influenza virus infection of mice.
TL;DR: The results implicate SP-D and possibly MBL as important components of the innate defense of the respiratory tract against influenza virus and indicate that the degree or pattern of glycosylation of a virus can be an important factor in its virulence.

TL;DR: Results support a role for SP-A in the defense of infants against infection with RSV and indicate a possible mechanism for its protective activity.

Complement-dependent neutralization of influenza virus by a serum mannose-binding lectin
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, the neutralization of influenza virus by a serum lectin plus complement represents a previously unrecognized mechanism of complement-dependent viral inactivation that may be important in first-line host defence against a variety of enveloped viruses.

Two distinct serum mannose-binding lectins function as beta inhibitors of influenza virus: identification of bovine serum beta inhibitor as conglutinin.
TL;DR: For the H3-subtype virus A/Memphis/1/71 x A/Bel/42 (H3N1), sensitivity to beta inhibitors was determined by the oligosaccharide at residue 165 of the hemagglutinin, this glycosylation site being lost in a resistant mutant selected by growth in the presence of bovine serum as discussed by the authors.

Antiviral activity of bovine collectins against rotaviruses
TL;DR: Findings provide the first description of antiviral activity of collectins against a non-enveloped virus and may indicate a potential role for collectins in host defence against bovine rotavirus infection.
