Abstract:The modern concepts of lectins and glycoconjugates binding to them, the features and patterns of their interaction, the protective role and potential in the human body are summarized. The analysis of terms, approaches to classifications of lectins is carried out. The features of natural and synthetic glycoconjugates, recognized and bound by lectins, in symbiotic relationships, in innate immunity at the reception level are emphasized. The levels of specificity of lectins are considered. There is a need to expan… Show more
