Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) represent a family of antigen-presenting cells (APC) with varying phenotypes. For example, in mice, CD8 alpha(+) and CD8 alpha(-) DC are thought to represent cells of lymphoid and myeloid origin, respectively. Langerhans cells (LC) of the epidermis are typical myeloid DC; they do not express CD8 alpha, but they do express high levels of myeloid antigens such as CD11b and Fc gamma R, By contrast, thymic DC, which derive from a lymphoid-related progenitor, express CD8 alpha but only low levels of myeloid antigens, CD8 alpha(+) DC are also found in the spleen and lymph nodes (LN), but the origin of these cells has not been determined. By activating and labeling CD8 alpha(-) epidermal LC in vivo, it was found that these cells expressed CD8 alpha on migration to the draining LN, Similarly, CD8 alpha(-) LC generated in vitro from a CD8 wild-type mouse and injected into the skin of a CD8 alpha KO mouse expressed CD8 alpha when they reached the draining LN, The results also show that CD8 alpha(+) LC are potent APC, After migration from skin, they localized in the T-cell areas of LN, secreted high levels of interleukin-12, interferon-gamma, and chemokine-attracting T cells, and they induced antigen-specific T-cell activation. These results demonstrate that myeloid DC in the periphery can express CD8 alpha when they migrate to the draining LN, CD8 alpha expression on these DC appears to reflect a state of activation, mobilization, or both, rather than lineage.
