Dependence on Mincle and Dectin-2 Varies With Multiple Candida Species During Systemic Infection
More than 95% of invasive Candida infections are caused by four Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis). C-type lectin-like receptors (CLRs), such as Dectin-1, Dectin-2, and Mincle mediate immune responses to C.

Expression of dectin-1 during fungus infection in human corneal epithelial cells
AIM:To evaluate the expression of dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (dectin-1) in human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells infected by fungus.METHODS:A total of 20 cases of healthy donor corneas were group A, and 20 patients (20 eyes) suffered from ...

Quantitative Expression of C-Type Lectin Receptors in Humans and Mice [PDF]
C-type lectin receptors, their adaptor molecules and S-type lectins (galectins) are involved in the recognition of glycosylated self-antigens and pathogens.

Selective C-Rel activation via Malt1 controls anti-fungal T(H)-17 immunity by dectin-1 and dectin-2.
C-type lectins dectin-1 and dectin-2 on dendritic cells elicit protective immunity against fungal infections through induction of T(H)1 and T(H)-17 cellular responses.

The epithelium-associated cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) can induce OX40L and CCL17 expression by myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), which contributes to aberrant Th2-type immune responses.

Targeting self- and foreign antigens to dendritic cells via DC-ASGPR generates IL-10-producing suppressive CD4+ T cells [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) can initiate and shape host immune responses toward either immunity or tolerance by their effects on antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells.

Dectin-1-Mediated DC-SIGN Recruitment to Candida albicans Contact Sites
At host–pathogen contact sites with Candida albicans, Dectin-1 activates pro-inflammatory signaling, while DC-SIGN promotes adhesion to the fungal surface. We observed that Dectin-1 and DC-SIGN collaborate to enhance capture/retention of C.

In host defence, pattern recognition plays an essential role by enabling the immune system to discriminate self from pathogenic non-self. Pattern recognition is mediated by leukocyte expressed pattern recognition molecules (PRMs), which recognise pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on pathogens.

Inflammasome is an intracellular protein complex that serves as cytosolic pattern recognition receptor (PRR) to engage with pathogens and to process cytokines of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family into bioactive molecules.
