Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) are typically thought to be key in antiviral defense. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Guo, Kasahara et al. (2020) reveal a critical role for pDCs in antifungal immunity. Aspergillus-infected monocyte-derived DCs and neutrophils recruit pDCs, which promote neutrophil fungicidal activity.
浆细胞样树突状细胞 (pDCs) 通常被认为是抗病毒防御的关键。在本期《Cell Host & Microbe》中,Guo、Kasahara 等人(2020 年)揭示了 pDCs 在抗真菌免疫中的关键作用。烟曲霉感染的单核细胞衍生的 DC 和中性粒细胞招募 pDCs,pDCs 促进中性粒细胞的杀菌活性。
