The multiple roles of C-type lectin receptors in cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 C-type lectin receptors are a family of immune response receptors that can bind with a broad repertoire of ligands. It can function as innative immune receptors to surveillance bacteria, fungi, and virus invasions.

Can Plant Lectins Help to Elucidate Insect Lectin-Mediated Immune Response?
Insects, 2021 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize and selectively bind to specific sugar structures. This group of proteins is widespread in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and exerts a broad range of functions.

Lectin-dependent enhancement of Ebola virus infection via soluble and transmembrane C-type lectin receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key soluble effector of the innate immune system that recognizes pathogen-specific surface glycans. Surprisingly, low-producing MBL genetic variants that may predispose children and immunocompromised individuals to ...

Lectins with Potential for Anti-Cancer Therapy
Molecules, 2015 This article reviews lectins of animal and plant origin that induce apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells and hence possess the potential of being developed into anticancer drugs. Apoptosis-inducing lectins encompass galectins, C-type lectins, annexins,
