TL;DR: This Opinion article suggests that the mononuclear phagocyte system can be classified primarily by their ontogeny and secondarily by their location, function and phenotype, which permits a more robust classification during both steady-state and inflammatory conditions.
Abstract: The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) has historically been categorized into monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages on the basis of functional and phenotypical characteristics. However, considering that these characteristics are often overlapping, the distinction between and classification of these cell types has been challenging. In this Opinion article, we propose a unified nomenclature for the MPS. We suggest that these cells can be classified primarily by their ontogeny and secondarily by their location, function and phenotype. We believe that this system permits a more robust classification during both steady-state and inflammatory conditions, with the benefit of spanning different tissues and across species.

TL;DR: The DC subsets that have been identified in humans are reviewed and recent work that addresses their ability to cross-present antigens and their efficiency for CD8(+) T cells activation is discussed.

TL;DR: Dans cette revue, nous discutons en quoi les cellules dendritiques inflammatoires different des macrophages et des autres populations of cellulesdendritique chez la souris chez l’homme.
Abstract: Dendritic cells are a rare and heterogeneous population of professional antigen-presenting cells. Several murine dendritic cell subpopulations have been identified that differ in their phenotype and functional properties. In the steady state, committed dendritic cell precursors differentiate into lymphoid organ-resident dendritic cells and migratory tissue dendritic cells. During inflammation appears an additional dendritic cell subpopulation that has been termed « inflammatory dendritic cells ». Inflammatory dendritic cells differentiate in situ from monocytes recruited to the site of inflammation. Here, we discuss how mouse inflammatory dendritic cells differ from macrophages and from other dendritic cell populations. Finally, we review recent work on human inflammatory dendritic cells.
