β¦ Synopsis
The macrophage expresses a variety of cell surface lectins with activities that support specific functional roles and correspond to various differentiation states characteristic of this cell type. Recently, research has been carried out to investigate the mannose receptor, the advanced glycosylation the P-glucan end products receptor, the mannose-6-phosphate-receptor, receptor, sialoadhesin and several galactose-specific binding proteins.

## Abstract Mannose receptor (MR) is the best characterised member of a family of four endocytic molecules that share a common domain structure; a cysteineβrich (CR) domain, a fibronectinβtype II (FNII) domain and tandemly arranged Cβtype lectinβlike domains (CTLD, eight in the case of MR). Two dis
