DC-SIGN on B Lymphocytes Is Required For Transmission of HIV-1 to T Lymphocytes

Infection of T cells by HIV-1 can occur through binding of virus to dendritic cell (DC)-specific ICAM-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) on dendritic cells and transfer of virus to CD4(+) T cells. Here we show that a subset of B cells in the blood and tonsils of normal donors expressed DC-SIGN, and th...
