Cutaneous DCs compared with blood DCs. (A) There were 3 nonoverlapping DC populations in peripheral blood, gating on Lin^–CD11c⁺HLA-DR⁺ cells: BDCA-1⁺, CD16^hi, and BDCA-3⁺. (B) Blood BDCA-1⁺ (left) and BDCA-3⁺ (right) cells were both HLA-DR⁺CD14^–. (C) In dermal single-cell suspensions, BDCA-1⁺ cells acquired CD16. (D) BDCA-1⁺ (left) dermal cells increased HLA-DR expression, and BDCA-3⁺ (right) dermal cells acquired low-level CD14 expression.
