C-type lectin receptors in antifungal immunity
Trends in Microbiology, 2008Fungal infections represent a significant health burden, especially in immunocompromised individuals, yet many of the underlying immunological mechanisms involved in the recognition and control of these pathogens are unclear. The identification of the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has shed new insights on innate microbial recognition and the initiation of

Historically the C-Type lectins (CLEC) or C-type lectin receptors (CLR) form a family of Ca2+ dependent carbohydrate binding proteins which have a common sequence motif of 115–130 amino acid residues, referred to as the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The C-type designation is from their requirement for calcium for binding.

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Antifungal Immunity
2020Most fungal species are harmless to humans and some exist as commensals on mucocutaneous surfaces. Yet many fungi are opportunistic pathogens, causing life-threatening invasive infections when the immune system becomes compromised. The fungal cell wall contains conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which allow the immune system to ...

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 ...
