MBL2 and COVID-19: Protein changes that emerged as significantly associated with mortality in ICU patients but have not been previously linked to the severity of COVID-19, included an elevation of mannose binding lectin 2 (MBL2) and reductions in protein C (PROC), plasminogen (PLG), coagulation factor 7 (F7) and vitamin D-binding protein (GC) (Fig. 3d).
