Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) primarily function as weak antigen-presenting cells (APC), but have also been shown to ...

No writing assistance was utilized in the production of this manuscript. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are specialized APCs. Compared with other APCs, pDCs express a high level of TLR9 and ...

In the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), stimulation of Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7 and 9 by self nucleic acids is postulated to induce plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs ...

is revealed to function as an intracellular DNA-binding protein that controls TLR9 activation in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). This discovery provides insights into the functional ...
