MCL and mincle: C-type lectin receptors that sense damaged self and pathogen associated molecular patterns

MCL (macrophage C-type lectin) and mincle (macrophage inducible C-type lectin) comprise part of an extensive repertoire of pattern recognition receptors with the ability to sense damage associated and pathogen associated molecular patterns. In this review we cover the discovery and molecular charact...
