Abstract

Macrophage C-type lectin (MCL) and macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) comprise part of an extensive repertoire of pattern recognition receptors with the ability to sense damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns. In this review, we cover the discovery and molecular characterization of these C-type lectin receptors, and highlight recent advances in the understanding of their roles in orchestrating the response of the immune system to bacterial and fungal infection, and damaged self. We also discuss the identification and structure-activity relationships of activating ligands, particularly trehalose dimycolate and related mycobacterial glycolipids, which have significant potential in the development of TH1/TH17 vaccination strategies.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Direct recognition of apoptotic material by efferocytes involves receptors including CR3, CR4, CD36, CD91, SR-A, vitronectin receptor, αvβ5 integrin, and Mincle, which also recognizes the M. tuberculosis cell wall lipid TDM.

    “For direct recognition of apoptotic material by efferocytes an array of receptors, which mediate tethering and/or engulfment, include CR3 and CR4, CD36, CD91 [low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)], and other scavenging receptors (SR-A), vitronectin receptor (αvβ3) and αvβ5integrin as well as Mincle, which also recognizes the M. tuberculosis cell wall lipid TDM (134).”

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.
