Interesting thread. My doctor tested my MBL through Quest Diagnostics in the US. From what I could see, 200-800 is normal, mine is well over 1600. From what I'm seeing, it could promote autoimmunity, but I'm not sure....

And above, @pattismith said "The fact that MBL can suppress T Lymphocytes activation means that low MBL goes with higher T lymphocyte activation."

So, I guess high MBL is the opposite, that T lymphocyte activation is suppressed??
