Signalling through C-type lectin receptors: shaping immune responses [PDF]
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2009 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) expressed by dendritic cells are crucial for tailoring immune responses to pathogens. Following pathogen binding, CLRs trigger distinct signalling pathways that induce the expression of specific cytokines which determine T cell polarization fates.

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Asthma [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that affects approximately 300 million people worldwide, largely in developed countries. The etiology of the disease is poorly understood, but is likely to involve specific innate and adaptive responses to inhaled microbial components that are found in allergens.

C-type lectin receptors orchestrate antifungal immunity [PDF]
Nature Immunology, 2012 Immunity to pathogens critically requires pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to trigger intracellular signaling cascades that initiate and direct innate and adaptive immune responses. For fungal infections, these responses are primarily mediated by members of the C-type lectin receptor family.

C-type Lectin Receptors for Tumor Eradication: Future Directions [PDF]
Cancers, 2011 Dendritic cells are key regulators in directing immune responses and therefore are under extensive research for the induction of anti-tumor responses. DCs express a large array of receptors by which they scan their surroundings for recognition and uptake of pathogens.

Targeting C-Type Lectin Receptors for Cancer Immunity [PDF]
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. CLRs are important for cell-cell communication and host defense against pathogens through the recognition of specific carbohydrate structures. Similar to a family of Toll-like receptors,

Computational Analysis of the Ligand Binding Site of the Extracellular ATP Receptor, DORN1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 DORN1 (also known as P2K1) is a plant receptor for extracellular ATP, which belongs to a large gene family of legume-type (L-type) lectin receptor kinases.

Divalent nanobodies to platelet CLEC-2 can serve as agonists or antagonists
Communications Biology, 2023 Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy on crosslinked nanobodies tested on C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) show different outcomes for divalent and tetravalent nanobody ligands on CLEC-2 clustering, also dependent on CLEC-2 expression levels.

Key thermally dimorphic fungal pathogens: shaping host immunity
Open Biology, 2022 Exposure to fungal pathogens from the environment is inevitable and with the number of at-risk populations increasing, the prevalence of invasive fungal infection is on the rise. An interesting group of fungal organisms known as thermally dimorphic fungi
