Cooperative Stimulation of Dendritic Cells by Cryptococcus neoformans Mannoproteins and CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides [PDF]
, 2008 While mannosylation targets antigens to mannose receptors on dendritic cells (DC), the resultant immune response is suboptimal. We hypothesized that the addition of toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands would enhance the DC response to mannosylated antigens ...

3D Structural View of Pathogen Recognition by Mammalian Lectin Receptors
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Humans and other mammals resist exogenous pathogens by recognizing them as non-self. How do they do this? The answer lies in the recognition by mammalian lectin receptors of glycans usually found on the surface of pathogens and whose chemical structure ...

Clinical and investigative medicine. Medecine clinique et experimentale, 2022 PURPOSE Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) is a common chronic glomerulonephritis and the main cause of end-stage renal diseases. Recent evidence suggests that mannan binding lectin associated serine proteases 2 (MASP2) is related to IgAN ...

Mannan-Binding Lectin Enhances Susceptibility to Visceral Leishmaniasis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2001 ABSTRACTLevels of the serum opsonin mannan-binding lectin (MBL) were directly correlated with the probability of developing visceral leishmaniasis. Monocytes infected with MBL-opsonizedLeishmania chagasipromastigotes secreted higher levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 than cells infected with nonopsonized parasites.
