Scavenger receptors in innate immunity
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2002 Scavenger receptors (SR) are expressed by myeloid cells (macrophages and dendritic cells) and certain endothelial cells. They play an important role in uptake and clearance of effete components, such as modified host molecules and apoptotic cells.

Macrophage scavenger receptors: Tumor support and tumor inhibition
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells that constitute up to 50% of the cell mass of human tumors. TAMs interact with the components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by using scavenger receptors (SRs), a ...

Loss of Function of Scavenger Receptor SCAV-5 Protects C. elegans Against Pathogenic Bacteria
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Scavenger receptors play a critical role in innate immunity by acting as the pattern-recognition receptors. There are six class B scavenger receptors homologs in C. elegans.

More Than Just a Removal Service: Scavenger Receptors in Leukocyte Trafficking
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Scavenger receptors are a highly diverse superfamily of proteins which are grouped by their inherent ability to bind and internalize a wide array of structurally diverse ligands which can be either endogenous or exogenous in nature.

Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]
, 2009 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).

The macrophage scavenger receptor at 30 years of age: current knowledge and future challenges
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 It is now thirty years since the original observation that macrophages take up and degrade modified forms of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Molecular cloning has identified multiple scavenger receptors that can endocytose modified LDL and binding studies
