Functional activities of C-reactive protein on neutrophils [PDF]

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a member of the pentraxin family which opsonises S. pneumoniae through its binding to phosphorylcholine. In addition, CRP binds to Fcγ receptors: FcγRI with high affinity and, probably, FcγRIIA with lower affinity.

Glycoengineered Recombinant Alpha1‐Antitrypsin Results in Comparable In Vitro and In Vivo Activities to Human Plasma‐Derived Protein

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpha‐1‐antitrypsin (A1AT) is a multifunctional, clinically important, high‐value therapeutic glycoprotein that can be used for the treatment of many diseases, such as A1AT deficiency, diabetes, graft‐versus‐host disease, cystic fibrosis, and various viral infections. Currently, the only U.S. food and drug administration‐approved treatment for

Paired C-type lectin receptors mediate specific recognition of divergent oomycete pathogens in C. elegans

Cell Reports
Summary: Innate immune responses can be triggered upon detection of pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns by host receptors that are often present on the surface of immune cells.

Immunobiology of C-Type Lectin Receptors

, 2013
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) that signal via the kinase Syk are an important class of pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system. They recognize pathogen- and host-derived danger signals, and are best known for their role in antifungal ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]

, 1998
The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

Extracellular Vesicles‐Based Biological Macromolecule Delivery Systems: Biogenesis, Characterization, and Emerging Clinical Applications

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membrane‐bound structures that play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and organelles, between cells. Originating from the endosomal pathway, EVs reflect the physiological and pathological status of their parent

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Asthma

, 2018
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that affects approximately 300 million people worldwide, largely in developed countries. The etiology of the disease is poorly understood, but is likely to involve specific innate and adaptive responses to inhaled ...

Reprogramming tumor immune microenvironment by ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms for enhanced cancer immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Ultrasound‐responsive nanoplatforms reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment by targeting tumor cells, immune cells, and non‐immune stromal cells to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer immunotherapy represents a significant advancement in cancer treatment by enhancing the specific recognition and elimination of cancer cells.

Expression of non-TLR pattern recognition receptors in the spleen of BALB/c mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
The spleen plays a crucial role in the development of immunity to malaria, but the role of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in splenic effector cells during malaria infection is poorly understood.
