    Abstract This book focuses on C-type lectin receptors, a newly emerging family of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and a crucial part of the human innate immune system. Above all, the authors highlight these receptors’ role in the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) – one of the first steps in responding to foreign and potentially dangerous structures in the human body. The respective chapters chiefly examine various C-type lectin receptors, their corresponding ligands, and signalling. In addition to offering immunologists and clinicians important insights from the latest research, they may also provide novel points of departure for future drug development.

    Abstract As an important part of adaptive immunity, T cells are indispensable in the defense against pathogens including viruses. SARS-CoV-2 is a new human coronavirus that occurred at the end of 2019 and has caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, most of the infected patients recovered without any antiviral therapies, suggesting an effective immunity developed in the bodies. T cell immunity responds upon SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination and plays crucial roles in eliminating the viruses and generating T cell memory. Specifically, a subpopulation of CD4

    Abstract C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) expressed by myeloid cells constitute a versatile family of receptors that play a key role in innate immune recognition. Myeloid CLRs exhibit a remarkable ability to recognize an extensive array of ligands, from carbohydrates and beyond, and encompass pattern-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and markers of altered self. These receptors, classified into distinct subgroups, play pivotal roles in immune recognition and modulation of immune responses. Their intricate signaling pathways orchestrate a spectrum of cellular responses, influencing processes such as phagocytosis, cytokine production, and antigen presentation. Beyond their contributions to host defense in viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, myeloid CLRs have been implicated in non-infectious diseases such as cancer, allergies, and autoimmunity. A nuanced understanding of myeloid CLR interactions with endogenous and microbial triggers is starting to uncover the context-dependent nature of their roles in innate immunity, with implications for therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract The common Fc receptor γ (FcRγ) chain is a signaling subunit common to several immune receptors, but cellular responses induced by FcRγ-coupled receptors are diverse. We investigated the mechanisms by which FcRγ generates divergent signals when coupled to Dectin-2 and Mincle, structurally similar C-type lectin receptors that induce the release of different cytokines from dendritic cells. Chronological tracing of transcriptomic and epigenetic changes upon stimulation revealed that Dectin-2 induced early and strong signaling, whereas Mincle-mediated signaling was delayed, which reflects their expression patterns. Generation of early and strong FcRγ-Syk signaling by engineered chimeric receptors was sufficient to recapitulate a Dectin-2-like gene expression profile. Early Syk signaling selectively stimulated the activity of the calcium ion-activated transcription factor NFAT, which rapidly altered the chromatin status and transcription of the

    Abstract C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors, which detect a broad spectrum of ligands via small carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs). CLEC12A is an inhibitory CLR that recognizes crystalline structures such as monosodium urate crystals. CLEC12A also recognizes mycolic acid, a major component of mycobacterial cell walls, and suppresses host immune responses. Although CLEC12A could be a therapeutic target for mycobacterial infection, structural information on CLEC12A was not available. We report here the crystal structures of human CLEC12A (hCLEC12A) in ligand-free form and in complex with 50C1, its inhibitory antibody. 50C1 recognizes human-specific residues on the top face of hCLEC12A CRD. A comprehensive alanine scan demonstrated that the ligand-binding sites of mycolic acid and monosodium urate crystals may overlap with each other, suggesting that CLEC12A utilizes a common interface to recognize different types of ligands. Our results provide atomic insights into the blocking and ligand-recognition mechanisms of CLEC12A and leads to the design of CLR-specific inhibitors.

    Abstract There is a need for improved vaccine adjuvants to augment vaccine efficacy. One way to address this is by targeting multiple immune cell pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) using chimeric pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Conjugation of the PAMPs will ensure codelivery of the immunostimulatory molecules to the same cell, enhancing adjuvant activity. The macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) is a promising PRR for adjuvant development; however, no effective chimeric Mincle adjuvants have been prepared. We addressed this by synthesizing Mincle adjuvant conjugates, MDP-C18Brar and MDP-C18Brar-dilipid, which contain PAMPs recognized by Mincle and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2). The two PAMPs are joined by a pH-sensitive oxyamine linker which, upon acidification at lysosomal pH, hydrolyzed to release the NOD2 ligands. The conjugates elicited the production of Th1 and Th17 promoting cytokines
