Lectins play important roles in many biological processes, including protein trafficking, cell
signaling, pathogen recognition, as effector molecules, and so on, because of their capacity …

Lectins are important pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their immunological action is
related to the recognition of glycans present in the pathogen cells surface. The lectins …

Crustacean species are among the most valued seafood with socioeconomic and ecological
implications in the global fisheries sector. Microbial infections to the farming stock due to …

When using mRNA from gills of normal whiteleg shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei
as the tester and mRNA from yellow head virus (YHV)-infected shrimp as the driver …

C-type lectins (CTLs) function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) by recognizing
invading microorganisms, thereby triggering downstream immune events against infected …

Background Trombidid mites have a unique life cycle in which only the larval stage is
ectoparasitic. In the superfamily Trombiculoidea (“chiggers”), the larvae feed preferentially …

C-type lectins (CTLs) are pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) that play important roles in
immune response. In this study, two new CTLs containing a low-density lipoprotein receptor …

Abstract C-type lectins (CTLs), a superfamily of Ca 2+-dependent carbohydrate-recognition
proteins, are involved in nonself-recognition and pathogen elimination, and play crucial …

C-type lectins (CTLs) are calcium-dependent carbohydrate-binding proteins known to assist
the innate immune system as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). The binding specificity of …

Lectins are found in most living organisms, providing immune surveillance by binding to
carbohydrate ligands. In fishes, C-type lectins were isolated from mucus of respiratory …
