Abstract
The ability of HIV-1 to use dendritic cells (DCs) for transport and to transfer virus to activated T cells in the lymph node may be crucial in early HIV-1 pathogenesis. We have characterized primary DCs for the receptors involved in viral envelope attachment and observed that C-type lectin receptor (CLR) binding was predominant in skin DCs, whereas binding to emigrating and tonsil DCs was CD4-dependent. No one CLR was solely responsible for envelope binding on all skin DC subsets. DC-SIGN (DC-specific ICAM-3–grabbing nonintegrin) was only expressed by CD14+CDlalo dermal DCs. The mannose receptor was expressed by CD1ahi and CD14+CDlalo dermal DCs, and langerin was expressed by Langerhans cells. The diversity of CLRs able to bind HIV-1 in skin DCs may reflect their ability to bind a range of microbial glycoproteins.Keywords
