Abstract excerpt

The C-type lectin DC-SIGN (CD209) is an important pathogen recognition receptor of the innate immune system. Recent studies showed that DC-SIGN is the major receptor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on human dendritic cells and that polymorphisms in the DC-SIGN promoter region are associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis. In this light, we aimed to study the potential implication of DC-SIGN genetic variation...
