Dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin-1 (Dectin-1), also known as β-glucan receptor is an
emerging pattern recognition receptor (PRR) which belongs to the family of C-type lectin …

The β-glucan receptor Dectin-1 is an archetypical non-toll-like pattern recognition receptor
expressed predominantly by myeloid cells, which can induce its own intracellular signalling …

Human dendritic cells (DCs) regulate the balance between immunity and tolerance through
selective activation by environmental and pathogen-derived triggers. To characterize the …

House dust mites are a significant source of airborne allergen worldwide, but there is little
understanding of how they so potently generate allergic inflammation. We found that extracts …

β‐Glucans are naturally occurring carbohydrates that possess immune‐modulating
activities, but their mechanisms of action are largely unknown. Recent discoveries, however …

Dendritic cells (DCs) have an important function in the initiation and differentiation of
immune responses, linking innate information to tailored adaptive responses. Depending on …

Recent advances on brewer's yeast cell wall polysaccharides have unraveled exquisite
structural features and diverse composition with (β1→ 3),(β1→ 6),(α1→ 4),(β 1→ 4)-mix …

Effective immune responses depend on the recognition of pathogens by dendritic cells
(DCs) through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These receptors induce specific …

Dectin-1, the major β-glucan receptor in leukocytes, triggers an effective immune response
upon fungal recognition. Here we use sortase-mediated transpeptidation, a technique that …

Different dendritic cell (DC) subsets have distinct specialized functions contributed in part by
their differential expression of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). C‐type lectin receptors …
