Plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) represents a distinct lineage of bone-marrow–derived cells that reside mainly in blood and lymphoid organs in the steady state but are also present in sites of infection, inflammation, and cancer. The Basic Protocol in this unit describes 1) detection and quantitation of human pDC in peripheral blood; 2) isolation of human pDC by magnetic-activated cell (MACS) sorting and fluorescent-activated cell (FACS) sorting; 3) evaluation of human pDC function by stimulation with TLR7/9 agonists; 4) detection of human pDC in lymphoid tissues of humanized mice by flow cytometry; 5) functional study of human pDC in hu-mice in vivo; and 6) specific depletion of human pDC in vivo in hu-mice using monoclonal antibody targeting human pDC. These assays, therefore, provide comprehensive methods to the phenotypic and functional study in vitro, and the investigation of human plasmacytoid dendritic cells in hu-mice in vivo.
