Dendritic cells (DCs), originally described by Steinmann and Cohn in 1973, play a crucial role in initiation of an immune response: they are the key antigen presenting cells (APCs) [1]. They originate from hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow, migrate as immature precursors within the monocyte cell population in the blood stream, and emigrate into different tissues. Within these tissues,
