Abstract
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are antigen-presenting cells capable of instructing the adaptive immune response and influencing the polarization of CD4 + T cells. According to the expression of different surface markers, cDCs can be divided into two basic subtypes: CD8a+DEC205+ and CD8a-DCIR2+. Previous results from our laboratory indicate that CD8a+DEC205+ cDCs are able to instruct …
