Altered N-Linked Glycosylation in Follicular Lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Involvement in Pathogenesis and Potential Therapeutic Targeting

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) expression is indispensable for survival of most B-cell malignancies. In follicular lymphoma (FL), N-linked glycosylation sites are introduced in the immunoglobulin (Ig) variable region genes.

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

The Binding Affinity and Molecular Basis of the Structure-Binding Relationship between Urinary Tamm-Horsfall Glycoprotein and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α

Molecules, 2012
In a previous study we noted significant THP binding to TNF-α, but did not explore the molecular basis of the structure-binding relationship. In this study, we used lectin-binding ELISA to assess the carbohydrate compositions of THP, BSA, IgG, TNF-α, and

Synthetic Ligands of Myeloid C‐Type Lectin Receptors

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Binding of ligands to C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) on myeloid cells can lead to an array of cellular responses. Exploitation of these receptors for therapeutic purposes requires high‐affinity ligands. This review surveys the diversity of synthetic ligands of myeloid CLRs in the context of binding, signaling, and downstream effects, as well as ...

Complement Inhibition in the Clinic: Are We Doing Enough to Protect Patients From Infection?

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
Excessive complement activation is implicated in a broad range of diseases. Therapeutic approaches targeting the complement cascade, from pathway‐selective inhibition to terminal blockade, can effectively control disease activity. However, increasing degrees of complement inhibition are associated with a heightened susceptibility to bacterial, viral ...

Mannose-binding lectin and maladies of the bowel and liver

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a pattern-recognition molecule that binds to characteristic carbohydrate motifs present on the surface of many different pathogens. MBL binding stimulates the immune system via the lectin pathway of complement activation.

Impact of bacterial vaginosis, as assessed by nugent criteria and hormonal status on glycosidases and lectin binding in cervicovaginal lavage samples.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of hormonal status and bacterial vaginosis (BV) on the glycosidases present and glycosylation changes as assessed by lectin binding to cervicovaginal lavage constituents. Frozen cervicovaginal lavage
