Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in the initiation of the immunological response
against Leishmaniaparasites. However, the receptors involved in amastigote-dendritic cell
interaction are unknown, especially in absence of opsonizing antibodies. We have studied
the interaction of Leishmania pifanoi axenic amastigotes with the C-type lectin DC-specific
intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN, CD209), a
receptor for ICAM-2, ICAM-3, human immunodeficiency virus gp120, and Ebola virus. L …
