The Roles of Direct Recognition by Animal Lectins in Antiviral Immunity and Viral Pathogenesis
Molecules, 2015 Lectins are a group of proteins with carbohydrate recognition activity. Lectins are categorized into many families based on their different cellular locations as well as their specificities for a variety of carbohydrate structures due to the features of ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
, 1998 The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

Heterogeneity in glycan composition on the surface of HIV-1 envelope determines virus sensitivity to lectins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Lectins that target N-glycans on the surface of HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein have the potential for use as antiviral agents. Although progress has been made in deciphering the molecular details of lectin and Env glycan interaction, further studies ...

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-

The biological role of hemolymph lectins in Episesarma tetragonum [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013 The hemolymph of the mangrove crab, E. tetragonum contains lectins specific for NeuGcα 2, 3 Gal β1-4 GluNAc β1 linkage and O-acetyl sialic acids. The role of sialic acid specific lectins on natural immunity of the crab is studied by using several kinds ...
