CLEC7A and infection: Another study using a murine infection model also shows that LC-derived IL-6 is required for the induction of Th17 cells via CLEC7A (C-type lectin receptor for fungal recognition; Dectin-1) on LCs (Figure 2), whereas Th1 differentiation takes place in the absence of CLEC7A1 ligation (Figure 2) [42].
