Abstract excerpt
Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) are present in solid tumor tissue and metastatic cervical lymph nodes (CLN) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We recently showed that classical PDC functions are heavily disturbed in the tumor microenvironment. In this study we present a new approach to the subject by introducing 3 PDC subsets in HNSCC, characterized by the surface markers CD25, CD56 and...
