Single-cell suspensions from different organs were stained with antibodies for cell-specific markers and analyzed by flow cytometry. Values are presented as the mean ± SD from 6 to 7 mice of each genotype.
DC, dendritic cells; DP, double positive; SP, single positive; pDC, plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
