Synthetic Peptide Restores the Cancer-Killing Power of Macrophages (4 of 4)

Caption

Model of mannose receptor CD206 derived from small angle X-ray scattering analysis. Ricin, fibronectin II, carbohydrate recognition domains 1 to 8, transmembrane, and C-terminal domains are highlighted in different colors. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 12, 2020, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.M. Jaynes at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, AL; and colleagues was titled, "Mannose receptor (CD206) activation in tumor-associated macrophages enhances adaptive and innate antitumor immune responses."
