Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM-3) grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) and its homologue DC-SIGNR (DC-SIGN related) have been thought to play an important role in establishing HIV infection by enhancing trans-infection of CD4(+)T cells in the regional lymph nodes. To identify polymorphisms associated with HIV-exposed seronegative (ESN) individuals in Thais, genomic DNA from 102...
