Short characteristics of markers for dendritic cell immunophenotyping.

Immature monocyte
CD14	Analysis of the immature not differentiated monocytes
Mature dendritic cells
CD1a	Analysis of DCs capable of presenting the antigens from cancer cells
CD11c	Analysis of DCs capable of inducing T helper polarization into Th2 subpopulation
CD80/86	Analysis of DCs capable of the formation of the immune synapse
CD83
DCs with the ability to activate T cells
CD209	Analysis of DCs' ability to activate T cells through cancer antigen presentation
DCs with the ability to suppress T cells
B7 DC (PD-L2)	DCs positive for this marker express the ability to inhibit T cell function through the PD-1 pathway
CD274 (B7H1, PD-L1)
B7 H4	DCs positive for this marker express the ability to inhibit T cell proliferation and anticancer activation
