MGL is a C-type lectin Macrophage (MØ) and related cells such as dendritic cells (DCs) are important components in innate and acquired immunity and are implicated in pathogenic processes. Their functions involve phagocytosis, uptake of foreign antigens for clearance or antigen presentation, production of cytokines, and other effector functions. Lectins expressed on the cell surfaces of MØs or DCs play important roles in the initial step of capturing the antigens containing carbohydrates and infection of enveloped virus coated with glycoproteins. To date, several types of C-type lectins have been identified on MØs and DCs including lectins that bind mannose (type 1 multilectins and type 2 transmembrane lectins) and lectins that bind galactose (Gal) or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) such as MGL. |

Fig. 1. Lectin blotting of Virus-like particle (VLP) with Zaire Ebola viral glycoproteins (GPs).
VLP with Zaire Ebola viral GPs and Zaire Ebola viral GPs without mucin-like region were solubilized and the respective GP was separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and blotted with biotinylated-recombinant human MGL (right) and anti-GP antibody (ascites 42/3.7) (left). The amount of GP was quantified by the band intensity of anti-GP antibody blotting using ImageJ.
