Abstract
Splenic conventional Dendritic Cells (cDCs) are central in the process of inducing the immune response, as they are capable of presenting antigens from different pathogens and inducing the activation of naive T cells. In mice, splenic cDCs are often classified into cDC1 (expressing the alpha chain of the CD8 molecule and the endocytic receptor DEC205, CD8±+DEC205+) and into cDC2 (CD8± neg…
