Modulation of NK cell function by genetically coupled C-type lectin-like receptor/ligand pairs encoded in the human Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
Functional responses of Natural Killer (NK) cells including eradication of ‘harmful’ cells and modulation of immune responses are regulated by a broad variety of activating and inhibitory NK receptors. Whereas the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) encodes

Pseudaminic acid on Campylobacter jejuni flagella modulates dendritic cell IL-10 expression via Siglec-10 receptor: a novel flagellin-host interaction. [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. At present the identity of host-pathogen interactions that promote successful bacterial colonisation remain ill defined.

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Antiviral Immunity and Viral Escape [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are important pattern recognition receptors involved in recognition and induction of adaptive immunity to pathogens. Certain CLRs play an important role in viral infections as they efficiently interact with viruses. However, it has become clear that deadly viruses subvert the function of CLRs to escape antiviral immunity ...

Lectin ligands: New insights into their conformations and their dynamic behavior and the discovery of conformer selection by lectins [PDF]

, 1998
The mysteries of the functions of complex glycoconjugates have enthralled scientists over decades. Theoretical considerations have ascribed an enormous capacity to store information to oligosaccharides, In the interplay with lectins sugar-code words of ...

Parasitic Infections: A Role for C-Type Lectins Receptors

BioMed Research International, 2013
Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) sense the microenvironment through several types of receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. In particular, C-type lectins receptors (CLRs), which are expressed by distinct subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MØs), recognize and internalize specific carbohydrate antigens in a Ca2 ...

Characterization and functional analysis of mouse Ficolin B

, 2012
The innate immune system contributes day by day to the elimination of invading pathogens. The lectin pathway of the complement system is initiated when mannose-binding-lectin (MBL) or ficolins interact with MASP-2.

From structural to functional glycomics: core substitutions as molecular switches for shape and lectin affinity of N-glycans [PDF]

, 2009
Glycan epitopes of cellular glycoconjugates act as versatile biochemical signals (sugar coding). Here, we test the hypothesis that the common N-glycan modifications by core fucosylation and introduction of the bisecting N-acetylglucosamine moiety have ...

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Host Defense

Annual Review of Immunology
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) present on myeloid cells provide crucial signals for the induction of innate and adaptive immune responses. Their broad ligand specificity places them in a perfect position to sense both microbial intruders and signs of tissue injury or cell death.

Functional activities of C-reactive protein on neutrophils [PDF]

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a member of the pentraxin family which opsonises S. pneumoniae through its binding to phosphorylcholine. In addition, CRP binds to Fcγ receptors: FcγRI with high affinity and, probably, FcγRIIA with lower affinity.
