Abstract
Lectins show several biological activities through recognition of mono- or oligosaccharides in a specific and reversible manner. Some plant lectins act on innate and/or adaptive immune cells. In this context, toll-like receptors (TLRs) are recognized by lectins, which can activate antigen presenting cells (APCs). Thus, acting as TLRs agonists, lectins can induce the M1 or M2 polarization.…
