Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 We recently reported that members of group 1 influenza A virus (IAV) containing H2, H5, H6, and H11 hemagglutinins (HAs) are resistant to lung surfactant protein D (SP-D).

European Journal of Biochemistry, 2004 Collectins are a family of collagenous calcium‐dependent defense lectins in animals. Their polypeptide chains consist of four regions: a cysteine‐rich N‐terminal domain, a collagen‐like region, an α‐helical coiled‐coil neck domain and a C‐terminal lectin or carbohydrate‐recognition domain.

Transcriptional expression levels of chicken collectins are affected by avian influenza A virus inoculation [PDF]
, 2010 Mammalian collectins have been found to play an important role in the defense against influenza A virus H9N2 inoculation, but for chicken collectins this has not yet been clarified.

Ischemia and reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation : relevant mechanisms in injury and repair [PDF]
, 2020 Ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI) is a complex pathophysiological phenomenon, inevitable in kidney transplantation and one of the most important mechanisms for non- or delayed function immediately after transplantation.

Collectin structure: A review [PDF]
Protein Science, 2000 AbstractColleetins are animal calcium dependent lectins that target the carbohydrate structures on invading pathogens, resulting in the agglutination and enhanced clearance of the microorganism. These proteins form trimers that may assemble into larger oligomers.

The Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation Is a Critical Component of the Innate Immune Response to Pneumococcal Infection [PDF]
, 2012 The complement system plays a key role in host defense against pneumococcal infection. Three different pathways, the classical, alternative and lectin pathways, mediate complement activation.

Investigations on Collectin Liver 1 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 Collectins are pattern recognition molecules of the innate immune system showing binding to carbohydrate structures on microorganisms in a calcium-dependent manner. Recently, three novel collectins, collectin liver 1 (CL-L1), collectin kidney 1 (CL-K1 and CL-11), and collectin placenta 1 (CL-P1), were discovered.

The Influence of the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation on Infections of the Respiratory System
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Lung diseases are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Complement activation may prevent a variety of respiratory infections, but on the other hand, could exacerbate tissue damage or contribute to adverse side effects. In this review, the

Structural Aspects of Collectins and Receptors for Collectins
Immunobiology, 1998 The collectins are oligomeric molecules composed of C-type lectin domains attached to collagen regions via alpha-coiled neck regions. Five members of the collectins have been characterized. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), conglutinin and collectin-43 (CL-43) are serum proteins produced by the liver.
