Journal ArticleDOI

Human CD141(+) (BDCA-3)(+) dendritic cells (DCs) represent a unique myeloid DC subset that cross-presents necrotic cell antigens

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the first detailed functional analysis of the human CD141+ DC subset, which is found in human lymph nodes, bone marrow, tonsil, and blood, and the latter proved to be the best source of highly purified cells for functional analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced delivery of immunoliposomes to human dendritic cells by targeting the multilectin receptor DEC-205.

TL;DR: Dendritic cells (DC) are specialized white blood cells that initiate and direct immune responses and DEC-205 is an effective target for delivering liposomes to human DC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential uptake and cross‐presentation of soluble and necrotic cell antigen by human DC subsets

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human CD141+ DCs, like their murine CD8α+ DC counterparts, are specialized at cross‐presenting cellular Ag, most likely mediated by an enhanced capacity to ingest cellular Ag combined with subtle changes in lysosomal pH during Ag processing and use of the cytosolic pathway.
