Constitutive expression of TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE)/receptor activating NF-κB ligand (RANK)-L by rat plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a subset of DCs whose major function relies on their capacity to produce large amount of type I IFN upon stimulation via TLR 7 and 9. This function is evolutionary conserved and place pDC in critical position in the innate immune response to virus. Here we sho...
