Figure 3.

Tissue macrophages and dendritic cells seed tissues at various stages of development. Microglia, Küpffer cells and Langerhans cells arise from yolk sac-derived progenitors, followed by fetal liver, then adult hematopoiesis. *Langerhans cells may be generated from adult HSC monocyte-derived LCs following inflammation or tissue damage.
