“…mannose, fucose and N-acetyl-glucosamine (Shepherd et al, 1982). The MR is currently recognized as a prototypic PRR expressed on macrophages, some dendritic cells (Sallusto et al, 1995) and other cell types (Stahl and Ezekowitz, 1998), orchestrating innate and adaptive immune communication (He et al, 2007), and is emerging as a critical regulator of health and disease (Lee et al, 2002; Zhang et al, 2012; Hattori et al, 2010; Hattori et al, 2009). Despite its well-known central role in host recognition of a variety of microbes and ability to modulate inflammatory responses, its receptor-specific role in transducing signals to regulate phagocytosis and inflammatory pathways remains in question (Le Cabec et al, 2005; Gazi and Martinez-Pomares, 2009; Goyal et al, 2016; Hoving et al, 2014; Martinez-Pomares, 2012; Sancho and Reis E Sousa, 2012, Taylor et al, 2005; Gordon, 2016).…”
