Investigation into the prevalence of a novel dendritic-like cell subset in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

A novel dendritic-like cell subset termed L-DC was recently identified in murine spleen based on marker expression of a homogeneous cell population derived from long-term culture of neonatal spleen. The function of L-DC is distinct from other splenic dendritic and myeloid cell subsets because of their high endocytic capacity and their ability to cross-present antigen to CD8(+) T cells. This paper shows the subset...
