Review

Recognition of non-self polysaccharides by C-type lectin receptors dectin-1 and dectin-2

S. Tyler Hollmig, Ponciano Cruz, MD and Kiyoshi Arizumi, PhD

Received on December 12, 2008; accepted on February 24, 2009

The discovery of several transmembrane receptors expressed by antigen presenting cells, including those that detect and interact with specific sugar moieties on the surface of microbes, has improved our understanding of how immunity against infection is generated. This knowledge, in turn, prompted us to review such interactions with emphasis on C-type lectin receptors and a focus on the roles of dectin-1 and dectin-2 in anti-fungal immunity.
