C-type lectin Mincle is an activating receptor for pathogenic fungus, <i>Malassezia</i>
26 Jan 2009

Mincle (also called as Clec4e and Clecsf9) is a C-type lectin receptor expressed in activated phagocytes. Recently, we have demonstrated that Mincle is an FcRgamma-associated activating receptor that senses damaged cells. To search an exogenous ligand(s), we screened pathogenic fungi using cell line expressing Mincle, FcRgamma, and NFAT-GFP reporter. We found that Mincle specifically recognizes the Malassezia...
