Altered profile of glycosylated proteins in serum samples obtained from patients with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis following depletion of highly abundant proteins

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
ObjectivesHashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is one of the most common autoimmune disorders; however, its underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. Although aberrant glycosylation has been implicated in the N-glycome of immunoglobulin G (IgG), changes

Cell-surface protein YwfG of Lactococcus lactis binds to α-1,2-linked mannose.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Lactococcus lactis strains are used as starter cultures in the production of fermented dairy and vegetable foods, but the species also occurs in other niches such as plant material. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis G50 (G50) is a plant-derived strain and

Complement lectin pathway activation is associated with COVID-19 disease severity, independent of MBL2 genotype subgroups

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionWhile complement is a contributor to disease severity in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, all three complement pathways might be activated by the virus.

Proteins of the Lectin Pathway of complement activation at the site of injury in subarachnoid hemorrhage compared with peripheral blood

Brain and Behavior, 2020
Background A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a debilitating stroke. Activation of the lectin pathway (LP) of the complement system in SAH patients could worsen the prognosis; however, conflicting results have been reported.

Characterization of a Novel Mannose-Binding Lectin with Antiviral Activities from Red Alga, Grateloupia chiangii

Biomolecules, 2020
Lectins have the ability to bind specific carbohydrates and they have potential applications as medical and pharmacological agents. The unique structure and usefulness of red algal lectin have been reported, but these lectins are limited to a few marine ...

Circulating immune-complexes and complement activation through the classical pathway in myeloperoxidase-ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis

Renal Failure, 2022
Background Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN) is the fulminant glomerular diseases with poor renal prognosis. Activation of the complement system has recently been reported in the pathogenesis of AAGN, but it

Tackling the Legs of Mannan-Binding Lectin [PDF]

Structure, 2011
The recognition of pathogen surfaces by mannan-binding lectin activates MASP proteases, leading to complement activation. A crystal structure by Gingras et al. (2011) in this issue of Structure now shows how the collagen-like stems of mannan-binding lectin bind MASP-1 through a minimalist set of interactions.

The Macrophage Mannose Receptor Regulate Mannan-Induced Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis-Like Disease Models

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The injection of mannan into mice can result in the development of psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), whereas co-injection with antibodies toward collagen type II leads to a chronic rheumatoid-like arthritis.

Mannan detecting C-type lectin receptor probes recognise immune epitopes with diverse chemical, spatial and phylogenetic heterogeneity in fungal cell walls.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
During the course of fungal infection, pathogen recognition by the innate immune system is critical to initiate efficient protective immune responses. The primary event that triggers immune responses is the binding of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs),

Mannan binding lectin deficiency and concomitant immunodefects [PDF]

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1998
To determine the prevalence of a mannan binding lectin (MBL) deficiency in children with increased susceptibility to infections and to investigate whether other coexisting immunodeficiencies affecting opsonisation are needed to render MBL deficiency clinically significant.343 serum samples were collected from 266 children with repeated infections, a ...
