Abstract excerpt
Signal peptide peptidase-like 2a (SPPL2a) is an aspartyl intramembrane protease essential for degradation of the invariant chain CD74. In humans, absence of SPPL2a leads to Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease, which is attributed to a loss of the dendritic cell (DC) subset conventional DC2. In this study, we confirm depletion of conventional DC2 in lymphatic tissues of SPPL2a-/- mice and demonstrate...
