Advances in the glycobiology and immunology fields have provided many insights into the
role of carbohydrate-protein interactions in the immune system. We aim to present a …

Lectins are proteins with a high degree of stereospecificity to recognize various sugar
structures and form reversible linkages upon interaction with glyco-conjugate complexes …

We have reported that some lectins act as agonists of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and have
immunomodulatory properties. The plant lectin ArtinM, for example, interacts with N-glycans …

Growing insights into the many roles of glycoconjugates in biorecognition as ligands for
lectins indicates a need to compare plant and animal lectins. Furthermore, the popularity of …

Subtle changes in cell surface N-glycan recognition can modulate the T lymphocyte fate.
Plant lectins displaying similar single sugar-binding specificity and identical molecular …

When imagining to monitor animal cells through a microscope with resolution at the
molecular level, a salient attribute of their surfaces will be the abundance of glycan chains …

The d-mannose binding lectin ArtinM from Artocarpus integrifolia, previously known as KM+
and artocarpin, is considered a stimulant of Th1-type immunity, which is able to confer …

TLR2 plays a critical role in the protection against Paracoccidioides brasiliensis conferred by
ArtinM administration. ArtinM, a D-mannose-binding lectin from Artocarpus heterophyllus …

Lectins are proteins with diverse molecular structures that share the ability to recognize and
bind specifically and reversibly to carbohydrate structures without changing the …

Cancer remains a global health challenge, with high morbidity and mortality, despite the
recent advances in diagnosis and treatment. Multiple compounds assessed as novel …
