Dengue virus (DV) is a mosquito‐borne flavivirus that causes haemorrhagic fever in
humans. DV primarily targets immature dendritic cells (DCs) after a bite by an infected …

The worldwide infection rate for HIV-1 is estimated to be 14,000 per day, but only now, more
than 20 years into the epidemic, are the immediate events between exposure to infectious …

The lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR can augment viral infection; however, the range of
pathogens interacting with these attachment factors is incompletely defined. Here we show …

▪ Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly efficient antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that
collect antigen in body tissues and transport them to draining lymph nodes. Antigenic …

Post-translational modifications and correct subcellular localization of viral structural
proteins are prerequisites for assembly and budding of enveloped viruses. Coronaviruses …

Human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV), influenza virus, and hepatitis C
virus (HCV) have heavily glycosylated, highly variable surface proteins. Here we explore N …

The C-type lectins DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR bind mannose-rich glycans with high affinity. In
vitro, cells expressing these attachment factors efficiently capture, and are infected by, a …

Abstract 'Angiodiversity'refers to the structural and functional heterogeneity of endothelial
cells (EC) along the segments of the vascular tree and especially within the microvascular …

ABSTRACT DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR are two closely related membrane-associated C-type
lectins that bind human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein with high …

Filoviruses, represented by the genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus, cause a lethal
hemorrhagic fever in humans and in nonhuman primates. Although filovirus can replicate in …
