Hey, Ying YO'Neill, Helen2013-09-232013-09-231582-4934http://hdl.handle.net/1885/10523The spleen contains multiple subsets of myeloid and dendritic cells (DC). DC are important antigen presenting cells (APC) which induce and control the adaptive immune response. They are cells specialized for antigen capture, processing and presentation to naıve T cells. However, DC are a heterogeneous population and each subset differs subtly in phenotype, function and location. Similarly, myeloid cell subsets can be distinguished which can also play an important role in the regulation of immunity. This review aims to characterize splenic subsets of DC and myeloid cells to better understand their individual roles in the immune response.NHMRC (National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia)9 pagesPermission given by WileyOpenAccessInfo@wiley.com to deposit publisher version of article in institutional repository - email dated 19/9/13dendritic cellmyeloid cellantigen presentation2012-10-2910.1111/j.1582-4934.2012.01608.x10.1111/j.1582-4934.2012.01608.x2015-12-10
