A teleost mannose receptor with dual carbohydrate recognition domains bridges innate immunity and gut microbiota homeostasis in largemouth bass.

Mannose receptors (MRs) are crucial pattern recognition receptors in innate immunity, yet their functional roles in teleost fish, particularly regarding systemic defense and gut microbiota regulation, remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified and characterized MsMR, a novel dual-carbohydrate recognition do...
