| Abstract | Fucosylated glycans on pathogens are known to shape the immune response through their interaction with pattern recognition receptors, such as C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), on dendritic cells (DCs). Similar fucosylated structures are also commonly found in a variety of allergens, but their functional significance remains unclear. To test a hypothesis that allergen-associated glycans serve as the molecular patterns in functional interaction with CLRs, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based binding assay was performed to determine the binding activity of purified allergens and allergen extracts. THP-1 cells and monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs) were investigated as a model for testing the functional effects of allergen-CLR interaction using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and flow cytometry. Significant and saturable bindings of allergens and allergen extracts with variable binding activities to DC-specific ICAM3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and its related receptor, L-SIGN, were found. These include bovine serum albumin coupled with a common glycoform (fucosylated glycan lacking the α1,3-linked mannose) of allergens and a panel of purified allergens, including BG60 (Cyn dBG-60; Bermuda grass pollen) and Der p2 (house dust mite). The binding activity was calcium-dependent and inhibitable by fucose and Lewis-x trisaccharides (Lex). In THP-1 cells and human MDDCs, BG60-DC-SIGN interaction led to the activation of Raf-1 and ERK kinases and the induction of tumor necrosis factor-α expression. This effect could be blocked, in part, by Raf-1 inhibitor or anti-DC-SIGN antibodies and was significantly reduced in cells with DC-SIGN knockdown. These results suggest that allergens are able to interact with DC-SIGN and induce tumor necrosis factor-α expression in MDDCs via, in part, Raf-1 signaling pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
