DC-SIGN acts as an adhesion receptor to facilitate interactions between DCs and T cells or DCs and endothelial cells. In addition, it serves as an antigen receptor mediating internalization of ligands for antigen presentation, binding virus such as HIV, HCMV, or Ebola as well as parasites, bacteria, or yeast.
HIV-1 uses this feature of DC-SIGN for efficient in -trans infection of CD4+ T cells.
