Red blood cell mannoses as phagocytic ligands mediating both sickle cell anaemia and malaria resistance

Red blood cells (RBCs) are phagocytosed in the spleen in sickle cell disease and malaria. Here, Cao et al. show that high mannose N-glycans, exposed on diseased or oxidized RBC surfaces, bind mannose receptor CD206 on host cells, mediating phagocytosis.
