N-glycan mediated adhesion strengthening during pathogen-receptor binding revealed by cell-cell force spectroscopy

Abstract Glycan-protein lateral interactions have gained increased attention as important modulators of receptor function, by regulating surface residence time and endocytosis of membrane glycoproteins. The pathogen-recognition receptor DC-SIGN is highly expressed at the membrane of antigen-presenti...
