Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are dispensable or detrimental in murine systemic or respiratory viral infections
2024-05-21
Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are major producers of type I/III interferons. As interferons are crucial for antiviral defense, pDCs are assumed to play an essential role in this process. However, robust evidence supporting this dogma is scarce.
