Signalling C-type lectins in antimicrobial immunity. [PDF]
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.

Integrative analysis workflow for the structural and functional classification of C-type lectins [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2011 Background It is important to understand the roles of C-type lectins in the immune system due to their ubiquity and diverse range of functions in animal cells.

C-type lectins, fungi and Th17 responses [PDF]
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 ...

Myeloid C-type lectins in innate immunity
Nature Immunology, 2006 C-type lectins expressed on myeloid cells comprise a family of proteins that share a common structural motif, and some act as receptors in pathogen recognition.

Characterization of C-type lectins reveals an unexpectedly limited interaction between Cryptococcus neoformans spores and Dectin-1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Phagocytosis by innate immune cells is an important process for protection against multiple pathologies and is particularly important for resistance to infection.

, 2022 I-type lectins are defined as glycan-binding proteins (excluding antibodies and T-cell receptors) in which the binding domain is homologous to the large and varied immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) of proteins.

Molecular Cloning and Characteristics of a Lectin from the Bivalve Glycymeris yessoensis
Marine Drugs, 2023 C-type lectins (CTLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that mediate multiple biological events, including adhesion between cells, the turnover of serum glycoproteins, and innate immune system reactions to prospective invaders.

Can Plant Lectins Help to Elucidate Insect Lectin-Mediated Immune Response?
Insects, 2021 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that recognize and selectively bind to specific sugar structures. This group of proteins is widespread in plants, animals, and microorganisms, and exerts a broad range of functions.

C-type lectins facilitate tumor metastasis. [PDF]
Oncol Lett, 2017 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)
