Human dendritic cell subsets: an update
Open accessAbstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are a class of bone-marrow-derived cells arising from lympho-myeloid haematopoiesis that form an essential interface between the innate sensing of pathogens and the activation of adaptive immunity. This task requires a wide range of mechanisms and responses, which are divided between three major DC subsets: plasmacytoid DC (pDC), myeloid/conventional DC1 (cDC1) and myeloid/conventional DC2 (cDC2). Each DC subset develops under the control of a specific repertoire of transcription factors involving differential levels of IRF8 and IRF4 in collaboration with PU.1, ID2, E2-2, ZEB2, KLF4, IKZF1 and BATF3. DC haematopoiesis is conserved between mammalian species and is distinct from monocyte development. Although monocytes can differentiate into DC, especially during inflammation, most quiescent tissues contain significant resident populations of DC lineage cells. An extended range of surface markers facilitates the identification of specific DC subsets although it remains difficult to dissociate cDC2 from monocyte-derived DC in some settings. Recent studies based on an increasing level of resolution of phenotype and gene expression have identified pre-DC in human blood and heterogeneity among cDC2. These advances facilitate the integration of mouse and human immunology, support efforts to unravel human DC function in vivo and continue to present new translational opportunities to medicine.

![Figure 3 Segregation of human dendritic cell (DC) potential in late precursor compartments. The CD34+ CD38+ CD45RA+ human granulocyte–macrophage DC progenitor (GMDP) contains only a minority of progenitor cells with bi‐ or tri‐potential indicated in yellow and red, respectively in the diagrams of cell potential of several hundred individual progenitors differentiated in vitro (schematic redrawn from data of Lee et al.32). A small minority of progenitors in the GMDP qualify as MDP [except without plasmacytoid DC (pDC) potential] or common DC progenitor (CDP; all three DC potentials). The CD123+ fraction of GMDP has been described as a CDP; although it does not contain monocyte potential, trilineage common DC progenitors are not found in this gate. In the blood, a CD34+ CD123− precursor fraction is found to contain conventional DC1 (cDC1) and cDC2 potential9 together with a CD34– CD123+ AXL+ SIGLEC6+ pre‐DC with mainly cDC2 potential.9, 10 Traces of cDC1 potential are also found in CD123+ cells. It is not known how the CD34+ CD123− blood precursor relates to GMDP, if it is a physiological route of cDC differentiation, or whether this occurs via AXL+ precursors. Broken lines indicate unconfirmed relationships.](/paper-figures/0c2f65e511e54c7e851ce3a714b7014a/human-dendritic-cell-subsets-an-update-figure-3.jpg)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
