Distinct functions of DC-SIGN and its homologues L-SIGN (DC-SIGNR) and mSIGNR1 in pathogen recognition and immune regulation
13 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Antigen presenting cells express C-type lectins that are involved in pathogen capture, processing and antigen presentation to induce immune responses against these pathogens. However, it is becoming clear that pathogens have evolved to subvert the function of some C-type lectins to escape immune surveillance. An important C-type lectin family is represented by DC-SIGN and its homologues in human and mouse. Here...
