We tested the role of Stat5 in dendritic cell and alveolar macrophage (AM) homeostasis in the lung using CD11c-cre mediated deletion (Cre<sup>+</sup>5<sup>f/f</sup>). We show that Stat5 is required for CD103<sup>+</sup> dendritic cell and AM development. We found that fetal monocyte maturation into AMs was impaired in Cre<sup>+</sup>5<sup>f/f</sup> mice, and we also confirmed impaired AM development of progenitor cells using mixed chimera experiments. In the absence of Stat5 signaling in AMs, mi ...[more]
