Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The macrophage mannose receptor binds to terminal mannose and fucose residues on bacterial glycoproteins and glycolipids.Mammalian cells do not typically contain these residues.CD36 binds many different ligands,including microbial and self molecules.Fc receptors,complement receptors,and ICAM-1 are receptors for mammalian complement fragments,Ig,and LFA-1,respectively.
