Langerhans Cell-Dendritic Cell Cross-Talk via Langerin and Hyaluronic Acid Mediates Antigen Transfer and Cross-Presentation of HIV-1
van den Berg L, Cardinaud S, van der Aar A, Sprokholt J, de Jong M, Zijlstra-Willems E, et al.
J Immunol . 2015 Jul; 195(4):1763-73. PMID: 26170391
Human epidermal and mucosal Langerhans cells (LCs) express the C-type lectin receptor langerin that functions as a pattern recognition receptor. LCs are among the first immune cells to interact with...

Caveolin-1 mediated uptake via langerin restricts HIV-1 infection in human Langerhans cells
van den Berg L, Ribeiro C, Zijlstra-Willems E, de Witte L, Fluitsma D, Tigchelaar W, et al.
Retrovirology . 2015 Jan; 11:123. PMID: 25551286
Background: Human Langerhans cells (LCs) reside in foreskin and vaginal mucosa and are the first immune cells to interact with HIV-1 during sexual transmission. LCs capture HIV-1 through the C-type...

Measles virus suppresses RIG-I-like receptor activation in dendritic cells via DC-SIGN-mediated inhibition of PP1 phosphatases
Mesman A, Zijlstra-Willems E, Kaptein T, de Swart R, Davis M, Ludlow M, et al.
Cell Host Microbe . 2014 Jul; 16(1):31-42. PMID: 25011106
Dendritic cells (DCs) are targets of measles virus (MV) and play central roles in viral dissemination. However, DCs express the RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) RIG-I and Mda5 that sense MV and...

Fungal engagement of the C-type lectin mincle suppresses dectin-1-induced antifungal immunity
Wevers B, Kaptein T, Zijlstra-Willems E, Theelen B, Boekhout T, Geijtenbeek T, et al.
Cell Host Microbe . 2014 Apr; 15(4):494-505. PMID: 24721577
Recognition of fungal pathogens by C-type lectin receptor (CLR) dectin-1 on human dendritic cells is essential for triggering protective antifungal TH1 and TH17 immune responses. We show that Fonsecaea monophora,...

Dectin-1 activation induces proliferation and migration of human keratinocytes enhancing wound re-epithelialization
van den Berg L, Zijlstra-Willems E, Richters C, Ulrich M, Geijtenbeek T
Cell Immunol . 2014 Apr; 289(1-2):49-54. PMID: 24721111
Beta-glucans in temporary wound dressings have immuno-stimulatory capacities and have been shown to enhance wound healing in burn patients. Curdlan is a 1,3-linked bacterial/fungal derived beta-glucan that induces inflammatory responses...

Virus inactivation by salt (NaCl) and phosphate supplemented salt in a 3D collagen matrix model for natural sausage casings
Wieringa-Jelsma T, Wijnker J, Zijlstra-Willems E, Dekker A, Stockhofe-Zurwieden N, Maas R, et al.
Int J Food Microbiol . 2011 Jun; 148(2):128-34. PMID: 21632134
Due to possible presence and spread of contagious animal viruses via natural sausage casings the international trade in these food products is subject to veterinary and public health requirements. In...
