C-type lectins and extracellular vesicles in virus-induced NETosis

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2021
Dysregulated formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is observed in acute viral infections. Moreover, NETs contribute to the pathogenesis of acute viral infections, including those caused by the dengue virus (DV) and severe acute respiratory ...

Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR on human sinusoidal endothelium: a role for capturing hepatitis C virus particles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells are unique among endothelial cells in their ability to internalize and process a diverse range of antigens. DC-SIGNR, a type 2 C-type lectin expressed on liver sinusoids, has been shown to bind with high affinity to ...

Transmission-blocking antibodies against mosquito C-type lectins for dengue prevention. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
C-type lectins are a family of proteins with carbohydrate-binding activity. Several C-type lectins in mammals or arthropods are employed as receptors or attachment factors to facilitate flavivirus invasion.

Evolution and Immune Function of Fish Lectins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lectins are sugar-binding proteins widely distributed among animals, plants, and microbial taxon, involved in diverse biological processes. In both invertebrates and vertebrates, they play key roles in nonself recognition and immune responses, such as ...

C-Type Lectin Receptors in Asthma [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that affects approximately 300 million people worldwide, largely in developed countries. The etiology of the disease is poorly understood, but is likely to involve specific innate and adaptive responses to inhaled microbial components that are found in allergens.

How C-type lectins detect pathogens. [PDF]

open access: yesCellular microbiology, 2005
Glycosylation of proteins has proven extremely important in a variety of cellular processes, including enzyme trafficking, tissue homing and immune functions. In the past decade, increasing interest in carbohydrate-mediated mechanisms has led to the identification of novel carbohydrate-recognizing receptors expressed on cells of the immune system ...

Lectin receptors expressed on myeloid cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lectins recognize a diverse array of carbohydrate structures and perform numerous essential biological functions. Here we focus on only two families of lectins, the Siglecs and C-type lectins.

The immune role of C-type lectins in molluscs [PDF]

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2011
The phylum Mollusca is one of the largest and most important group in the animal kingdom. Recently, interest in molluscan immunity has increased due to their importance in worldwide aquaculture, their role in aquatic environmental science and their ...

Functional characterisation and comparative analysis of two C-type lectins with different key motifs from mud crab

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2022
C-type lectins are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in innate immunity. They possess one or more carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs) belonging to Ca2+-dependent carbohydrate binding proteins.

Molecular basis for intestinal mucin recognition by galectin-3 and C-type lectins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intestinal mucins trigger immune responses upon recognition by dendritic cells via protein–carbohydrate interactions. We used a combination of structural, biochemical, biophysical, and cell-based approaches to decipher the specificity of the interaction ...
