Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

Chitin-Induced Carbotype Conversion in Vibrio vulnificus [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2011 ABSTRACT As an etiological agent of bacterial sepsis and wound infections, Vibrio vulnificus is unique among the Vibrionaceae . The most intensely studied of its virulence factors is the capsular polysaccharide (CPS).

Chitin nanofiber elucidates the elicitor activity of polymeric chitin in plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Chitin, an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymer, is a component of fungal cell walls and a microbe/pathogen-associated molecular pattern that elicits plant defense responses.

Conservation of Chitin-Induced MAPK Signaling Pathways in Rice and Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017 Perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) including chitin by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) rapidly induces activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. However, how PRRs transmit immune signals to the MAPK cascade is largely unknown.

Chitin Triggers Tissue-Specific Immunity in Wheat Associated With Fusarium Head Blight
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Fusarium graminearum is one of the primary causal agents of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley. FHB reduces grain yield and contaminates grain with various mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON).

Chitin induces accumulation in tissue of innate immune cells associated with allergy [PDF]
Nature, 2007 Allergic and parasitic worm immunity is characterized by infiltration of tissues with interleukin (IL)-4- and IL-13-expressing cells, including T-helper-2 cells, eosinophils and basophils. Tissue macrophages assume a distinct phenotype, designated alternatively activated macrophages.
