    Snippet: We conclude that skin-resident DCs are a likely target for initial infection by dengue virus injected by the infecting mosquito; however, subsequent dissemination of the virus to monocytes and other cell types will no longer use DC-SIGN as a primary receptor and may rely in part on a shift to L-SIGN as the primary lectin receptor. The differential glycosylation of the DENV E protein during replication in primary mammalian cells suggests that stud.....
    Document: We conclude that skin-resident DCs are a likely target for initial infection by dengue virus injected by the infecting mosquito; however, subsequent dissemination of the virus to monocytes and other cell types will no longer use DC-SIGN as a primary receptor and may rely in part on a shift to L-SIGN as the primary lectin receptor. The differential glycosylation of the DENV E protein during replication in primary mammalian cells suggests that studies of virus tropism using virus prepared in insect cells or tumor cell lines should be interpreted with caution.
