[The Immunomodulatory Role of C-type Lectin Receptors in Parasitic Infection].

Abstract

C-type lectins are a group of Ca(2+)-dependent glycan-binding proteins. The C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) recognize carbohydrate ligands in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Recent research has demonstrated that CLRs could recognize glycoproteins and activate downstream immune responses. This review summarizes the roles of several CLRs in parasitic infection.
