Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis associated with paracoccidioidomycosis in a patient with mannose receptor deficiency: First case reported in the literature

open access: yesRevista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2021
We describe the first report of a patient with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis associated with disseminated and recurrent paracoccidioidomycosis. The investigation demonstrated that the patient had a mannose receptor deficiency, which would explain the

Mannosylation of virus-like particles enhances internalization by antigen presenting cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Internalization of peptides by antigen presenting cells is crucial for the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Mannosylation has been demonstrated to enhance antigen uptake through mannose receptors, leading to improved immune responses.

Red blood cell mannoses as phagocytic ligands mediating both sickle cell anaemia and malaria resistance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Red blood cells (RBCs) are phagocytosed in the spleen in sickle cell disease and malaria. Here, Cao et al. show that high mannose N-glycans, exposed on diseased or oxidized RBC surfaces, bind mannose receptor CD206 on host cells, mediating phagocytosis.

Man-Specific Lectins from Plants, Fungi, Algae and Cyanobacteria, as Potential Blockers for SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Coronaviruses: Biomedical Perspectives

open access: yesCells, 2021
Betacoronaviruses, responsible for the “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome” (SARS) and the “Middle East Respiratory Syndrome” (MERS), use the spikes protruding from the virion envelope to attach and subsequently infect the host cells.

Human immunodeficiency virus-1 uses the mannose-6-phosphate receptor to cross the blood-brain barrier. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Cell surface-specific N-glycan profiling in breast cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Aberrant changes in specific glycans have been shown to be associated with immunosurveillance, tumorigenesis, tumor progression and metastasis. In this study, the N-glycan profiling of membrane proteins from human breast cancer cell lines and tissues was

The mannose receptor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Leukocyte Biology, 2012
Abstract Review on mannose receptor as an endocytic receptor in antigen delivery that is co-expressed with the microRNA miR-511-3p encoded within the Mrc1 gene. The MR is a highly effective endocytic receptor with a broad binding specificity encompassing ligands of microbial and endogenous origin and a poorly characterized

pH-Degradable mannosylated nanogels for dendritic cell targeting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report on the design of glycosylated nanogels via core-cross linking of amphiphilic non-water-soluble block copolymers composed of an acetylated glycosylated block and a pentafluorophenyl (PFP) activated ester block prepared by reversible addition ...

A detailed study on understanding glycopolymer library and Con A interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Synthetic glycopolymers are important natural oligosaccharides mimics for many biological applications. To develop glycopolymeric drugs and therapeutic agents, factors that control the receptor-ligand interaction need to be investigated.
