Cloning and characterization of a mannose binding C-type lectin gene from salivary gland of Aedes albopictus

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The studies on sialomes have shown that hematophagous mosquito saliva consists of a lot of pharmacologically active proteins, in which C-type lectins have been identified and regarded as an important component of saliva.

Longitudinal Single‐Axon‐Resolution Imaging of Peripheral Nerve Injury Response in Mice Using an Optical Window Implant

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A minimally invasive optical window enables stable, long‐term imaging of peripheral nerves in vivo at single‐axon resolution. Dynamic processes of degeneration, regeneration, and cellular remodeling are visualized across multiple time scales within the same nerve region, providing a unique platform to study a variety of anatomical and molecular events ...

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,

Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language

C-Type Lectins in Innate Immunity to Pathogens

Trends in Glycoscience and Glycotechnology, 2004
自然免疫系は感染に対する防御機構の最前線であり、防御機構の始動にとって非常に重要である。侵入した病原体は、樹状細胞 (Dendritic cell: DC) の表面に発現する Toll 様受容体やC型レクチン (CLR) などの病原体認識受容体によって認識される。DCが病原体由来の抗原を捕捉すると、DCには病原体を排除することに特化するような様々な変化が生じる。CLRは病原体の表面や分泌物に存在する糖抗原を特異的に捕捉し、その結果として抗原のプロセシングと提示が行われる。しかし、現在の実験事実はCLRが2つの機能を持つことを示唆している。すなわち、CLRは病原体由来抗原の認識に加え、糖付加を受けた自己抗原の認識機構としても機能しており、恒常性の制御と免疫寛容を誘導するというものである。興味深いことに、

Crotacetin, a novel snake venom C-type lectin, is homolog of convulxin

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005
Snake venom (sv) C-type lectins encompass a group of hemorrhagic toxins, which are able to interfere with hemostasis. They share significant similarity in their primary structures with C-type lectins of other animals, and also present a conserved ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.

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
