The tumour microenvironment harbours ontogenically distinct dendritic cell populations with opposing effects on tumour immunity
Abstract
Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells consisting of distinct subsets originating from different lineages. Here, the authors identify the subsets of dendritic cells populating the tumour tissue in both mice and humans and find they have opposing functions in regulating the anti-tumour immune response.
