The interplay between Siglecs and sialylated pathogens
4 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
Siglecs are mammalian sialic acid (Sia) recognizing immunoglobulin-like receptors expressed across the major leukocyte lineages, and function to recognize ubiquitous Sia epitopes on cell surface glycoconjugates and regulate immunological and inflammatory activities of these cells. A large subset referred to as CD33-related Siglecs are inhibitory receptors that limit leukocyte activation, and recent research has...
