C‐type lectin‐like receptors on myeloid cells
Host defence against pathogens requires the recognition of conserved microbial molecules, or 'pathogen-associated molecular patterns' (PAMPs), by their receptors termed 'pattern recognition receptors' (PRRs), represented most notably by toll-like receptors (TLRs) and C-type lectins.

Association of arthritis with a gene complex encoding C‐type lectin–like receptors [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveTo identify susceptibility genes in a rat model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to determine whether the corresponding human genes are associated with RA.MethodsGenes influencing oil‐induced arthritis (OIA) were position mapped by comparing the susceptibility of inbred DA rats with that of DA rats carrying alleles derived from the ...

BACL is a novel brain-associated, non-NKC-encoded mammalian C-type lectin-like receptor of the CLEC2 family [PDF]
Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)–encoded C-type lectin-like receptors (CTLRs) are expressed on various immune cells including T cells, NK cells and myeloid cells and thereby contribute to the orchestration of cellular immune responses.

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...

Platelet C-Type Lectin-Like Receptor 2 Reduces Cholestatic Liver Injury in Mice [PDF]
Cholestatic liver injury leads to liver dysfunction. The available evidence suggests that platelets can either promote or reduce liver injury and fibrosis. This study focused on the functions of the C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2), a new special platelet receptor that binds with podoplanin-activating platelets.

High glucose disrupts oligosaccharide recognition function via competitive inhibition : a potential mechanism for immune dysregulation in diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Diabetic complications include infection and cardiovascular disease. Within the immune system, host-pathogen and regulatory host-host interactions operate through binding of oligosaccharides by C-type lectin.

Role of the C-type lectin receptors MCL and DCIR in experimental colitis. [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Though its exact etiology is still unclear, it is proposed that an imbalance in the intestinal homeostasis leads to a disturbed interaction between ...

BDCA2/Fc epsilon RI gamma complex signals through a novel BCR-like pathway in human plasmacytoid dendritic cells. [PDF]
Dendritic cells are equipped with lectin receptors to sense the extracellular environment and modulate cellular responses. Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) uniquely express blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA2) protein, a C-type lectin lacking ...
