Tissue-specific differentiation of a circulating CCR9- pDC-like common dendritic cell precursor

ABSTRACT: Committed precursors of conventional dendritic cells (pre-cDCs) derived from the common DC progenitor which differentiate into cDC subpopulations in peripheral tissues have been identified, but committed precursors for plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) have not been found. Here we show that CDP-derived ‘CCR9- MHCIIlow BST2+ Siglec-H+ pDCs from murine bone marrow which enter the circulation and peripheral tissues have a common DC precursor function in vivo in the steady state. Upon adoptive transfer the fate of CCR9- pDC-like precursors is governed by the tissues they enter. In the bone marrow and liver most transferred CCR9- pDC-like precursors differentiate into CCR9+ pDCs, whereas in peripheral lymphoid organs, lung and intestine they can give rise to CCR9+ pDCs and cDCs. Thus, CCR9- pDC-like cell
