Abstract DC-SIGN, a Ca 2+-dependent transmembrane lectin, is found assembled in
microdomains on the plasma membranes of dendritic cells. These microdomains bind a …

Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN)
has been described as an attachment molecule for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the associated disease tuberculosis are health risks
causing many deaths worldwide each year in humans. M. tuberculosis targets dendritic cell …

In the US, the increase in methamphetamine (METH) use has been associated with
increased human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Dendritic cells (DC) are the first …

CIRE/mDC-SIGN is a C-type lectin we originally identified as a molecule differentially
expressed by mouse dendritic cell (DC) populations. Immunostaining with a CIRE/mDC …

Presence of species-specific gene divergence in a protein family prompts to thoroughly
study structural aspects and expression profiles of the products. We herein focus on two …

Dendritic cells express DC-SIGN, a C-type lectin (CTL) that binds a variety of pathogens and
facilitates their uptake for subsequent antigen presentation. DC-SIGN forms remarkably …

Two CD209 family genes identified in humans, CD209 (DC-SIGN) and CD209L (DC-
SIGNR/L-SIGN), encode C-type lectins that serve as adhesion receptors for ICAM-2 and …

The present invention relates to the use of a compound that binds to a C-type lectin on the
surface of a dendritic cell, in the preparation of a composition for modulating, in particular …
