INTRODUCTION
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous and functionally distinct group of immune cells that are pivotal to adaptive immune responses (1). In the steady state, DCs encompass conventional DC (cDC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) subsets. cDCs are highly potent at taking up, processing, and presenting antigens to T cells, orchestrating their expansion, functional polarization, and effector activity. In contrast, pDCs have a limited capacity to promote T cell expansion but have the characteristic…
