CD209 (DC-SIGN) acts as an adhesion molecule and besides foreign antigens (Ags), it binds to a number of endogenous ligands, particularly to intracellular adhesion molecule 2 (ICAM2) on endothelial cells. This CD209-ICAM2 interaction regulates chemokine-induced transmigration of dendritic cells across both resting and activated endothelium (Geijtenbeek et al. 2000).
