Journal ArticleDOI

Dectin-1 is required for host defense against Pneumocystis carinii but not against Candida albicans.

TL;DR: Protective immunity to pneumocystis, but not to candida, required dectin-1 for the production of antifungal reactive oxygen species, and wild-type and dectIn-1-knockout mice were equally susceptible to candidA infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipopolysaccharide Interaction with Cell Surface Toll-like Receptor 4-MD-2 Higher Affinity than That with MD-2 or CD14

TL;DR: Direct LPS interaction with cell surface TLR4-MD-2 that is distinct from that with MD-2 or CD14 is revealed, suggesting a role for CD14 in LPS loading onto TLR2 but not in the interaction itself between LPS and TLR3-MD2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cathelicidin family of antibacterial peptides CAP18 and CAP11 inhibit the expression of TNF-alpha by blocking the binding of LPS to CD14(+) cells.

TL;DR: Cathelicidin peptides human CAP18 and guinea pig CAP11 probably exert protective actions against endotoxin shock by blocking the binding of LPS to CD14+ cells, thereby suppressing the production of cytokines by these cells via their potent binding activities for LPS and CD14.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of β-Glucan Recognition Site on C-Type Lectin, Dectin 1

TL;DR: The results suggest that the amino acid sequence W221-I222-H223 is critical for formation of a β-glucan binding site in the CRD of dectin 1.
