Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-grabbing nonintegrin-related protein (DC-SIGNR), along with DC-SIGN, is suggested to facilitate HIV infection of T cells in trans through binding with HIV gp120. We studied the repeat region polymorphisms in DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR in 100 healthy HIV-1 seronegative individuals among Northern Asian Indians. Each variant polymorphism obtained by polymerase chain...
