Helminths are extraordinarily successful parasites due to their ability to modulate the host
immune response. They have evolved a spectrum of immunomodulatory molecules that are …

Carbohydrates are the most abundant natural products. Besides their role in metabolism
and as structural building blocks, they are fundamental constituents of every cell surface …

Immunology was founded by studying the body's response to infectious microorganisms,
and yet microbial prokaryotes only tell half the story of the immune system. Eukaryotic …

Signalling C‐type lectin receptors (CLR s) are crucial in shaping the immune response to
fungal pathogens, but comparably little is known about the role of these receptors in …

Here we describe a glycan microarray constructed by using standard robotic microarray
printing technology to couple amine functionalized glycans to an amino-reactive glass slide …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are crucial in the defence against pathogens. Invading pathogens are
recognized by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and receptors such as C-type lectins expressed on …

Immune regulation by parasites is a global concept that includes suppression, diversion,
and conversion of the host immune response to the benefit of the pathogen. While many …

Cooperation between different innate signaling pathways induced by pattern-recognition
receptors (PRRs) on dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial for tailoring adaptive immunity to …

Fucosylated carbohydrate structures are involved in a variety of biological and pathological
processes in eukaryotic organisms including tissue development, angiogenesis, fertilization …

Neutrophils are key players of the innate immune system that provide a first line of defense
against invading pathogens. However, it is unknown whether neutrophils can interact with …
