Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional APCs that can control immune responses against self and altered self, typically foreign, determinants. DCs can be divided into several subsets, including CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) DCs. These subsets possess specific functions. For example, mouse splenic CD8alpha(+), but not CD8alpha(-) DCs selectively take up dying cells and cross-present cell-associated Ags to naive T cells. In this study, we identified genes that were more expressed in CD8alpha(+) than ...[more]
