... Abstract C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) that signal via the kinase Syk are an important class of pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune system. They recognize pathogen- and host-derived danger signals, and are best known for their role in antifungal immunity. Here, we review recent...

... Abstract Blood group-specific plant agglutinins, which the author has proposed to call lectins, have been known since their discovery by the author in 1945, and were briefly referred to in his “Fundamentals of Immunology” in 1947. In 1948 and 1949 more detailed descriptions were published...

... Abstract A summary of the joint projects of the Witten and Southampton/Hamburg collaboration on mistletoe lectin (ML) research is given. The Witten group has isolated all three major MLs, and the other group has investigated the MLs' biological action on tumor cells in vitro and in vivo...

.... The Seraph® 100 is composed of heparin coated beads. The Hemopurifier® combines the concept of plasma exchange with mannose-binding lectin (MBL). Lastly, the GARNET® utilizes a MBL fused to an IgG antibody. Via these mechanisms, these devices have been demonstrated to remove pathogens and pathogen-associated...

.... The epithelial mucosubstance was quantitatively examined by AB-PAS and lectin histochemistry. The newly produced mucin after OVA challenge or LPS instillation contained a high amount of sulfomucin and a low amount of neutral glycoprotein: LPS-induced mucin contained more sulfomucin (70.1% of total) and less...

Cell-surface C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), such as DCSIGN,L-SIGN, the mannose receptor, macrophage galactose binding lectin, and otherlectins, such as the soluble collectins and galectin-3, recognize particular glycan Ags ofschistosomes and allergens, which may contribute...

... Abstract SummaryThe specific binding of lectins to the cell surfaces in particular epidermal strata indicates that oligosaccharide moieties of the glycoconjugates on the cell membrane are altered as the keratinocyte differentiates. The disappearance of binding by the Bandeiraea simplicifolia...
