Differential effect of plant lectins on mast cells of different origins
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Histamine release induced by plant lectins was studied with emphasis on the carbohydrate specificity, external calcium requirement, metal binding sites, and mast cell heterogeneity and on the importance of antibodies bound to the mast cell membrane to ...

Parasitic infections: a role for C-type lectins receptors. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 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 ...

The C‐type lectin‐like domain superfamily
The FEBS Journal, 2005 The superfamily of proteins containing C‐type lectin‐like domains (CTLDs) is a large group of extracellular Metazoan proteins with diverse functions. The CTLD structure has a characteristic double‐loop (‘loop‐in‐a‐loop’) stabilized by two highly conserved disulfide bridges located at the bases of the loops, as well as a set of conserved hydrophobic and

C-type lectin-like domains in Fugu rubripes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2004 Abstract Background Members of the C-type lectin domain (CTLD) superfamily are metazoan proteins functionally important in glycoprotein metabolism, mechanisms of multicellular integration and immunity. Three genome-level studies on human, C. elegans and D.

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

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

Necrosis: C-Type Lectins Sense Cell Death [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Recent studies have shown that C-type lectins, a family of surface receptors known to recognize microbial carbohydrate moieties, also sense products from dying cells and transduce inflammatory signals that modulate the immune system.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that cholesterol in messenger RNA‐lipid nanoparticles (mRNA‐LNPs) can be completely replaced with an immunopotentiating lipid, i.e., a synthetic analogue of the C‐type lectin receptor agonist monomycoloyl glycerol (MMG‐1), without compromising physicochemical properties, in vivo transfection efficiency, and immunogenicity of the
