C-type lectin receptors orchestrate antifungal immunity

Abstract

Immunity to pathogens critically requires pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to trigger intracellular signaling cascades that initiate and direct innate and adaptive immune responses. For fungal infections, these responses are primarily mediated by members of the C-type lectin receptor family. In this Review, we highlight recent advances in the understanding of the roles and mechanisms of these multifunctional receptors, explore how these PRRs orchestrate antifungal immunity and briefly discuss progress in the use of these receptors as targets for antifungal and other vaccines.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
