Flt3L, LIF, and IL‐10 combination promotes the selective in vitro development of ESAMlow cDC2B from murine bone marrow

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 52, Issue 12, Page 1946-1960, December 2022., 2022
In vitro culture of murine bone marrow cells in Flt3L + LIF + IL‐10 promotes CD11b+ ESAMlow cDC2B subset generation from CDP but blocks cDC1 and pDC development. Flt3L alone or combined does not induce cDC2A generation in vitro. Abstract The development of two conventional dendritic cells (DC) subsets (cDC1 and cDC2) and the plasmacytoid DC (pDC) in ...
