Abstract excerpt
In the present review, a series of studies on the origins of dendritic cells of mice and humans are summarized. Several subsets of mature dendritic cells found in vivo are described and these may correspond to distinct lineages. There is evidence that some dendritic cells are myeloid-derived and that others are lymphoid-derived. The different ways of generating dendritic cells are examined and an attempt to...
