Abstract
Upon studying how dendritic cells and T-lymphocytesinteract, the group of Van Kooyk (Geijtenbeeket al., Cell 2000; 5: 575-86) has stumbledonto a dendritic cell protein that binds theICAM-3 T-cell adhesion molecule very strongly,which they called DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specificICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin).
