BACL is a novel brain-associated, non-NKC-encoded mammalian C-type lectin-like receptor of the CLEC2 family [PDF]

, 2013
Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)–encoded C-type lectin-like receptors (CTLRs) are expressed on various immune cells including T cells, NK cells and myeloid cells and thereby contribute to the orchestration of cellular immune responses.

Lectins with Potential for Anti-Cancer Therapy

Molecules, 2015
This article reviews lectins of animal and plant origin that induce apoptosis and autophagy of cancer cells and hence possess the potential of being developed into anticancer drugs. Apoptosis-inducing lectins encompass galectins, C-type lectins, annexins,

Differentiation-dependent glycosylation of cells in squamous cell epithelia detected by a mammalian lectin [PDF]

, 2002
The squamous stratified epithelia contain a proliferative (harboring mitotic activity) and a differentiating compartment. Due to the potential of protein-carbohyd rate interactions to regulate cellular activities we introduced a mammalian lectin to cyto-

Paths reunited: initiation of the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding the structural organisation and mode of action of the initiating complex of the classical pathway of complement activation (C1) has been a central goal in complement biology since its isolation almost 50 years ago.

Mannose-binding lectin 2 polymorphisms do not influence frequency or type of infection in adults with chemotherapy induced neutropaenia. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding Lectin protein (MBL) has been suggested to be relevant in the defence against infections in immunosuppressed individuals.

Diabetic alteration versus postnatal maturation of rat kidney glycoconjugates — comparative detection by lectin probes [PDF]

, 2013
A panel of ten lectins with different carbohydrate specificities, including three original lectin preparations (MPFA, LABA, and LVA), was used for the investigation of rat kidney glycoconjugate remodeling during postnatal morphogenesis, and the findings ...
