Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen presenting cells specializing in antigen uptake and processing, and play an important role in the innate and adaptive immune response. A subset of bovine peripheral blood DCs was identified as CD172a+ /CD11c+ /MHC (major histocompatibility complex) class II+ cells. Although DCs are identified at 0.1%-0.7% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), the phenotype and...
