Journal ArticleDOI

The origins and functions of dendritic cells and macrophages in the skin.

TL;DR: This Review focuses on recent advances that have succeeded in discriminating DCs from macrophages in the skin, based on ontogeny and global gene-expression profiles, and discusses how this has enabled researchers to revisit the origin, diversity and T cell-stimulatory properties of these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD207+ CD103+ dermal dendritic cells cross-present keratinocyte-derived antigens irrespective of the presence of Langerhans cells

TL;DR: These data revisit the transfer of antigen that occurs between keratinocytes and the five distinguishable skin DC subsets and stress the high degree of functional specialization that exists among them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Skin-draining lymph nodes contain dermis-derived CD103(-) dendritic cells that constitutively produce retinoic acid and induce Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells.

TL;DR: The RA-producing skin-derived DCs were capable of triggering the generation of regulatory T cells, a finding demonstrating that the presence of RA- producing, tolerogenic DCs is not restricted to the intestinal tract as previously thought.
