Evolution and Immune Function of Fish Lectins [PDF]

, 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 ...

Necrosis: C-Type Lectins Sense Cell Death [PDF]

Current Biology, 2009
Recent studies have shown that C-type lectins, a family of surface receptors known to recognize microbial carbohydrate moieties, also sense products from dying cells and transduce inflammatory signals that modulate the immune system.

Differential effect of plant lectins on mast cells of different origins

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
Histamine release induced by plant lectins was studied with emphasis on the carbohydrate specificity, external calcium requirement, metal binding sites, and mast cell heterogeneity and on the importance of antibodies bound to the mast cell membrane to ...

Multifunctional Snake C-Type Lectins Affecting Platelets [PDF]

Pathophysiology of Haemostasis and Thrombosis, 2001
Snake venoms contain a wide range of components, many of which affect haemostasis by activation or inhibition of platelets or coagulation factors. They can be classified into groups based on structure and mode of action. One group is the snake C-type lectins, so called because of the typical folding which closely resembles that found in classical C ...

Transcriptome analysis of the hepatopancreas from the Litopenaeus vannamei infected with different flagellum types of Vibrio alginolyticus strains

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Vibrio alginolyticus, one of the prevalently harmful Vibrio species found in the ocean, causes significant economic damage in the shrimp farming industry. Its flagellum serves as a crucial virulence factor in the invasion of host organisms.

Structural and biochemical characterization of a new type of lectin isolated from carp eggs. [PDF]

, 2003
A previously unidentified glycoprotein present in the eggs of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) was isolated and structurally characterized. The protein binds to a Sepharose 4B matrix and can be eluted with 0.4 M N-acetylglucosamine. The protein has an apparent

Lectin receptors expressed on myeloid cells [PDF]

, 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.

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.

Turning-off Signaling by Siglecs, Selectins and Galectins: Chemical Inhibition of Glycan-dependent Interactions in Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
Aberrant glycosylation, a common feature associated with malignancy, has been implicated in important events during cancer progression. Our understanding of the role of glycans in cancer has grown exponentially in the last few years, concurrent with ...
