Biochemical and structural characterization of a recombinant fibrinogen-related lectin from Penaeus monodon

Abstract Fibrinogen-related lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins of the innate immune system that recognize glycan structures on microbial surfaces. These innate immune lectins are crucial for invertebrates as they do not rely on adaptive immunity for pathogen clearance. Here, we characterize a...
