Transcriptome analyses to investigate symbiotic relationships between marine protists.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Rhizaria are an important component of oceanic plankton communities worldwide. A number of species harbour eukaryotic microalgal symbionts, which are horizontally acquired in the environment at each generation.

C-type lectins do not act as functional receptors for filovirus entry into cells [PDF]

, 2010
Cellular C-type lectins have been reported to facilitate filovirus infection by binding to glycans on filovirus glycoprotein (GP). However, it is not clearly known whether interaction between C-type lectins and GP mediates all the steps of virus entry (i.

Immune escape through C-type lectins on dendritic cells

, 2002
Dendritic cells (DCs) detect different pathogens and elicit tailored anti-microbial immune responses. They express C-type lectins that recognise carbohydrate profiles on microorganisms, resulting in internalisation, processing and presentation ...

CD209 C-Type Lectins Promote Host Invasion, Dissemination, and Infection of Toxoplasma gondii

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis and a major opportunistic parasite associated with AIDS, is able to invade host cells of animals and humans.

“Sweet Talk”: Closing in on C Type Lectin Signaling [PDF]

Immunity, 2005
C type lectins recognize pathogens by binding to pathogen-specific carbohydrate residues. The finding reported by Rogers et al. (2005) in this issue of Immunity, that ligand binding by the C type lectin Dectin-1 leads to recruitment of the tyrosine kinase Syk and is critical to subsequent cytokine production by the cell, will surely inspire further ...

Binding and toxicity of plant lectins to insects [PDF]

, 2002
The toxicity of plant lectins to insects after oral ingestion was investigated by incorporating the proteins into insect diets. Bioassays carried out using an artificial diet system demonstrated that kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lectin (PHA) caused a

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.

C-type Lectin Receptors for Tumor Eradication: Future Directions [PDF]

Cancers, 2011
Dendritic cells are key regulators in directing immune responses and therefore are under extensive research for the induction of anti-tumor responses. DCs express a large array of receptors by which they scan their surroundings for recognition and uptake of pathogens.

Identification of CLEC10A as a human lectin for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Scientific Reports
The mechanism by which glycans in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) interact with human endogenous lectins in the tumor microenvironment remains largely unknown.
