To examine heterogeneity in dendritic cell (DC) antigen presentation function, murine splenic DCs were separated into CD4(+) and CD8(+) populations and assessed for the ability to process and present particulate antigen to CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. CD4(+) and CD8(+) DCs both processed exogenous particulate antigen, but CD8(+) DCs were much more efficient than CD4(+) DCs for both major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen presentation and MHC class I cross-presentation. While antigen processing efficiency contributed to the superior antigen presentation function of CD8(+) DCs, our studies also revealed an important contribution of CD24. CD8(+) DCs were also more efficient than CD4(+) DCs in inducing naive T cells to acquire certain effector T-cell functions, for example generation of cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells and interferon (IFN)-gamma-producing CD4(+) T cells. In summary, CD8(+) DCs are particularly potent antigen-presenting cells that express critical costimulators and efficiently process exogenous antigen for presentation by both MHC class I and II molecules.
