Competition assays with different MR ligands (Man-BSA or D-mannose) revealed an important decrease in the activity of MR, with a loss between 50% to 80% in phagocytic capacity, demonstrating the participation of MR during parasite recognition and the upregulation of MR expression during the initial steps of the infection [6, 35, 48, 49]. Here, NR3C2 is linked to infection.
