Mouse peritoneal macrophages consist of two subsets: large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) and small peritoneal macrophages (SPMs), defined as CD11b<sup>hi</sup>F4/80<sup>hi</sup> and CD11b<sup>+</sup>F4/80<sup>lo</sup> cells, respectively. We reveal that SPMs, but not LPMs, have the ability to present antigens to naïve CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. Coculture of SPMs with naïve ovalbumin (OVA) specific CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells (OT-II) in the presence of OVA peptide effectively induced CD4<sup>+</sup> T ...[more]
