a

Two subsets.

b

Variable, two subsets with some animals (see also Fig. 1).

c

Can be negative in mucosal tissue [55].

d

Not determined.

e

Four subsets based on CD172a/CD11RI expression and dependent on localization in LP, PP and MLN [47].

f

Negative on LP DC [46].

g

Two subsets: CD172a+CD1+CD16+ and CD172aCD1CD16.
