Abstract

The transcriptional regulation of commitment to the dendritic cell (DC) lineage and functional specialization of DCs in vivo is poorly understood. In this Resource, Merad and colleagues identify the lineage relationships among various tissue DC subsets. Although much progress has been made in the understanding of the ontogeny and function of dendritic cells (DCs), the transcriptional regulation of the lineage commitment and functional specialization of DCs in vivo remains poorly understood. We made a comprehensive comparative analysis of CD8+, CD103+, CD11b+ and plasmacytoid DC subsets, as well as macrophage DC precursors and common DC precursors, across the entire immune system. Here we characterized…
