C-type lectin receptor signaling in schistosomiasis [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Schistosomiasis is a major neglected tropical disease caused by helminth parasites of the genus Schistosoma, affecting over 250 million people worldwide and leading to substantial morbidity primarily driven by egg-induced immunopathology.

Orientia tsutsugamushi binds to multiple C-type lectin receptors [PDF]

Infection and Immunity
Orientia tsutsugamushi, the agent of scrub typhus, is an obligate intracellular bacterium whose atypical cell wall lacks many classical pathogen-associated molecular patterns but is enriched in neutral glycans.

Secondary Immune Surveillance via upregulation of C-type lectin receptors [PDF]

npj Gut and Liver
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that sense diverse microbial and damage-associated molecular patterns. Many CLRs, like Mincle and Dectin-3, are upregulated by TLR4 signaling.

Information transfer in mammalian glycan-based communication

eLife, 2023
Glycan-binding proteins, so-called lectins, are exposed on mammalian cell surfaces and decipher the information encoded within glycans translating it into biochemical signal transduction pathways in the cell.

Diet-induced reconstruction of mucosal microbiota associated with alterations of epithelium lectin expression and regulation in the maintenance of rumen homeostasis

Scientific Reports, 2017
It is unknown whether lectins of the rumen epithelium contribute to the recognition of mucosal microbes and activation of tolerogenic cytokines in ruminant animals.

Targeting C-type Lectin Receptors for Cancer Immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a large family of soluble and trans-membrane pattern recognition receptors that are widely and primarily expressed on myeloid cells.

cDNA Cloning and Expression Analysis of Pattern Recognition Proteins from the Chinese Oak Silkmoth, Antheraea pernyi

Insects, 2012
Pattern recognition receptors play an important role in insect immune defense. We cloned the β-1,3-glucan recognition protein, lectin-5 and C-type lectin 1 genes of Antheraea pernyi and examined the expression profiles of immune-stimulated pupae.

Computational and experimental prediction of human C-type lectin receptor druggability

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Mammalian C-type lectin receptors are involved in many aspects of immune cell regulation such as pathogen recognition, clearance of apoptotic bodies and lymphocyte homing.

Structurally Robust and Functionally Highly Versatile—C-Type Lectin (-Related) Proteins in Snake Venoms

Toxins, 2019
Snake venoms contain an astounding variety of different proteins. Among them are numerous C-type lectin family members, which are grouped into classical Ca2+- and sugar-binding lectins and the non-sugar-binding snake venom C-type lectin-related proteins (
