The role of pulmonary dendritic cells in regulating the antigen-specific CD8 T cell response following influenza virus infection

We have recently demonstrated in a model of influenza A virus (IAV) infection that the absence of specific pulmonary DC subsets, including plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and CD8a+ DC, from the lungs leads to a significant decrease in the number of virus-specific CD8 T cells. Reconstitution of the lungs with...
