1 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
During sexual transmission, HIV-1 must overcome physiological barriers to establish a founder cell population. Viral adhesion represents a bottleneck for HIV-1 propagation that the virus widens by exploiting some specific host factors. Recognition of oligomannosyl glycans of gp120 by C-type lectins is one such example. Recent works suggest that complex glycans of gp120 are recognized by another host lectin,...
