Ligands

Notes
C-type lectin-like receptors16   DC-SIGN (CD209)   Viruses (HIV, Dengue, Ebola), mycobacteria   DC-SIGN also binds adhesion molecules (ICAM-2 and -3) that are important in DC trafficking and cell-cell interactions.  
  MMR (MRC1)   Mannosylated molecules   
  DEC-205 (LY75)   ?   
  BDCA-2 (CLECSF11)   ?   
  Langerin   ?   
  Dectin-1   β-glucan   
Fc receptors   FcγRI (CD32)   Immune complexes and opsonized cells   —  
  FcγRII (CD64)    
Integrins   αVβ5   Apoptotic cells   CR3 binds ICAM-1, found on activated lymphocytes and endothelial cells.  
  αMβ2 (CD11b/CD18, CR3)   Opsonized antigens (via iC3b), bacteria   
  αXβ2 (CD11c/CD18, CR4)   Opsonized antigens (via iC3b)   
Scavenger receptors17   CD36   Apoptotic cells   Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved molecules that are released by dying cells and that can mature DCs. Their normal function is to chaperone peptides between subcellular compartments.17,18  
  LOX-1 (OLR1)   Hsp-peptide complexes   
Other   CD9119   Hsp-peptide complexes   —

DC-SIGN indicates dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin; ICAM-2, intracellular adhesion molecule 2; MMR, macrophage mannose receptor; BDCA, blood dendritic cell antigen; CR, complement receptor; LOX-1, low density lipoprotein, oxidized, receptor 1; and CLECSF, C-type lectin superfamily. Antigen uptake by way of DEC-205,20  Fcγ receptors,135  αVβ5 integrin,21  CD36,21  LOX-1,18  and CD9119  have all been associated with cross-presentation.
