Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNRs in placentas of HIV-positive patients

Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNRs in placentas of HIV-positive patients

Background. Human dendritic cell-specific intracellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM3)-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) is a mannose-binding lectin that initiates interaction between dendritic cells and resting T-lymphocytes. DC-SIGN is highly expressed in placental tissue on dendritic cells and Hofbaue...
