Evolution of an expanded mannose receptor gene family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Sequences of peptides from a protein specifically immunoprecipitated by an antibody, KUL01, that recognises chicken macrophages, identified a homologue of the mammalian mannose receptor, MRC1, which we called MRC1L-B.

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 uses the mannose-6-phosphate receptor to cross the blood-brain barrier. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 HIV-1 circulates both as free virus and within immune cells, with the level of free virus being predictive of clinical course. Both forms of HIV-1 cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and much progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms by ...

Characterization of functional mannose receptor in a continuous hybridoma cell line
BMC Immunology, 2012 Background The mannose receptor is the best described member of the type I transmembrane C-type lectins; however much remains unanswered about the biology of the receptor.

The Mannose Receptor Is Involved in the Phagocytosis of Mycobacteria-Induced Apoptotic Cells
Journal of Immunology Research, 2016 Upon Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, macrophages may undergo apoptosis, which has been considered an innate immune response. The pathways underlying the removal of dead cells in homeostatic apoptosis have been extensively studied, but little is ...

The mannose receptor mediates dengue virus infection of macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 Macrophages (MØ) and mononuclear phagocytes are major targets of infection by dengue virus (DV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can cause haemorrhagic fever in humans. To our knowledge, we show for the first time that the MØ mannose receptor (MR) binds

Stage-specific sampling by pattern recognition receptors during Candida albicans phagocytosis.
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 Candida albicans is a medically important pathogen, and recognition by innate immune cells is critical for its clearance. Although a number of pattern recognition receptors have been shown to be involved in recognition and phagocytosis of this fungus ...

The Mannose Receptor in Regulation of Helminth-Mediated Host Immunity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Infection with parasitic helminths affects humanity and animal welfare. Parasitic helminths have the capacity to modulate host immune responses to promote their survival in infected hosts, often for a long time leading to chronic infections.
