Abstract

Dendritic cells (DC) not only stimulate T cells effectively but are also producers of cytokines that have important immune regulatory functions. In this study we have extended information on the functional differences between DC subpopulations to include differences in the production of the major immune-directing cytokines IL-12, IFN-α, and IFN-γ. Splenic CD4−8+ DC were identified as the major IL-12 producers in response to microbiological or T cell stimuli when compared with splenic CD4−8− or CD4+8− DC; however, all three subsets of DC showed similar IL-12 regulation and responded with increased IL-12 p70 production if IL-4 was present during stimulation. High level CD8 expression also correlated with extent of IL-12 production for DC isolated from thymus and lymph nodes. By using gene knockout mice we ruled out any role for CD8α itself, or of priming by T cells, on the superior IL-12-producing capacity of the CD8+ DC. Additionally, CD8+ DC were identified as the major producers of IFN-α compared with the two CD8− DC subsets, a finding that suggests similarity to the human plasmacytoid DC lineage. In contrast, the CD4−8− DC produced much more IFN-γ than the CD4−8+ or the CD4+8− DC under all conditions tested.

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.
