Plasmacytoid dendritic cells: neglected regulators of the immune response to Staphylococcus aureus

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a rare subset of leukocytes equipped with Fcgamma and Fcepsilon receptors, which exert contrary effects on sensing of microbial nucleic acids by endosomal Toll-like receptors. In this article we explain how pDC contribute to the immune response to Staphylococcu...
