Origin and functional heterogeneity of non-lymphoid tissue dendritic cells in mice.

Abstract excerpt

Dendritic cells (DCs) have been extensively studied in mice lymphoid organs, but less is known about the origin and the mechanisms that regulate DC development and function in non-lymphoid tissues. Here, we discuss recent evidence establishing the contribution of the DC-restricted lineage to the non-lymphoid tissue DC pool and discuss the mechanisms that control the homeostasis of non-lymphoid tissue DCs. We also...
