C-type lectin receptors in anti-fungal immunity
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2017Host immune systems are constantly engaged with fungal pathogens which are common in environments as well as in healthy human skin and mucosa. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are expressed in myeloid cells and play central roles in host defenses against fungal infections by coordinating innate and adaptive immune systems.

C-Type Lectin Receptors Orchestrate Antifungal Immunity
Future Microbiology, 2013Fungal infections are an emerging threat for human health. A coordinated host immune response is fundamental for successful elimination of an invading fungal microbe. A panel of C-type lectin receptors expressed on antigen-presenting dendritic cells enable innate recognition of fungal cell wall carbohydrates and tailors adaptive responses via the ...

C-type lectin receptors and cytokines in fungal immunity
Cytokine, 2012Fungi are the cause of opportunistic infections, predominantly in immunocompromised individuals although, primary fungal infections can occur in apparently healthy individuals. Successful host defence requires an effective innate and adaptive immune response.

C-type lectins (CTLs) form a broad and diverse protein superfamily with the ability to identify a wide array of ligands with their characteristic C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs), thus governing a broad spectrum of physiological functions. CTLD-containing proteins (CTLDcps) are now classified into 17 groups based on their phylogeny and overall domain

Signaling C-Type Lectin Receptors in Antifungal Immunity
2020We are all exposed to fungal organisms daily, and although many of these organisms are not harmful, billions of people a year contract a fungal infection. Most of these infections are not fatal and can be cleared by the host immune response. However, due to an increase in high-risk populations, the global fungal burden has increased, with more than 1.5

Immunobiology of C-Type Lectin Receptors
2013C-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 immunity.

The role of C-type lectin receptors in immune homeostasis
International Immunopharmacology, 2013C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are important pathogen pattern recognition molecules that recognize carbohydrate structures. Upon ligand binding, CLRs induce a variety of cellular responses, such as respiratory burst, production of cytokines and chemokines, and consequently shaping the adaptive immune responses. Recent frontier studies have demonstrated

C-type lectin receptors on dendritic cells and langerhans cells
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2002Dendritic cells and Langerhans cells are specialized for the recognition of pathogens and have a pivotal role in the control of immunity. As guardians of the immune system, they are present in essentially every organ and tissue, where they operate at the interface of innate and acquired immunity.

The CD94/NKG2 C-Type Lectin Receptor Complex
1998A multigene family of human Ig-SF receptors and members of the murine Ly49 C-type lectin family are involved in natural killer (NK) cell-mediated recognition of MHC class I molecules. The human CD94 glycoprotein covalently assembles with different C-type lectins of the NKG2 family.

Screening for Ligands of C-Type Lectin-Like Receptors
2011In order to execute their immune functions, leukocytes interact with a broad range of cell types through cell surface receptors, such as those of the immunoglobulin and C-type lectin families, or indirectly through soluble factors. The characterization of activating and inhibitory counterparts of NK cell receptors on myeloid cells, as well as the ...
