C-Type Lectin Receptors in Host Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are present throughout the human body—in tissues, at barrier sites and in the circulation. They are critical for processing external signals to instruct both local and systemic responses toward immune tolerance or immune ...

C-type lectins, fungi and Th17 responses

Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews, 2010
Th17 cells are a recently discovered subset of T helper cells characterised by the release of IL-17, and are thought to be important for mobilization of immune responses against microbial pathogens, but which also contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases.

Regulation of C-Type Lectin Receptor-Mediated Antifungal Immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Of all the pathogen recognition receptor families, C-type lectin receptor (CLR)-induced intracellular signal cascades are indispensable for the initiation and regulation of antifungal immunity.

Signalling C-Type Lectins in Antimicrobial Immunity

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Since it was first proposed that the innate immune system could recognise conserved microbial-associated molecular patterns (or PAMPs) through inherited receptors expressed by the host (termed pattern recognition receptors, or PRRs), several families of PRRs have been discovered and characterised.

Differing Expression and Potential Immunological Role of C-Type Lectin Receptors of Two Different Chicken Breeds against Low Pathogenic H9N2 Avian Influenza Virus

Pathogens
Diverse immune responses in different chicken lines can result in varying clinical consequences following avian influenza virus (AIV) infection. We compared two widely used layer breeds, Lohmann Brown (LB) and Lohmann White (LW), to examine virus ...

Cytotoxicity and Glycan-Binding Properties of an 18 kDa Lectin Isolated from the Marine Sponge <em>Halichondria </em><em>o</em><em>kadai</em>

Toxins, 2012
A divalent cation-independent lectin—HOL-18, with cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells, was purified from a demosponge, <em>Halichondria okadai</em>. HOL-18 is a 72 kDa tetrameric lectin that consists of four non-covalently bonded 18 kDa

C-type lectins in HIV-1 infection [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2011
Adaptive immune responses by dendritic cells (DCs) are controlled by pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and C-type lectins. C-type lectins interact with carbohydrate structures on pathogens. Upon pathogen binding, C-type lectins trigger signaling pathways that induce specific cytokines to dictate T cell polarization. Thus,

Comparative transcriptomics reveals the immune dynamics during the molting cycle of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Molting is one of the most important biological processes of crustacean species, and a number of molecular mechanisms facilitate this complex procedure. However, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying crustacean molting cycle remains very ...

C-type lectins facilitate tumor metastasis

Oncology Letters, 2016
Metastasis, a life-threatening complication of cancer, leads to the majority of cases of cancer-associated mortality. Unfortunately, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer metastasis remain to be fully elucidated. C-type lectins are a large group of proteins, which share structurally homologous carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs)

The Macrophage Galactose-Type C-Type Lectin (MGL) Modulates Regulatory T Cell Functions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are physiologically designed to prevent autoimmune disease and maintain self-tolerance. In tumour microenvironments, their presence is related to a poor prognosis, and they influence the therapeutic outcome due to their ...
