Plasmacytoid dendritic cells of melanoma patients present exogenous proteins to CD4+ T cells after FcγRII-mediated uptake

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) contribute to innate antiviral immune responses by producing type I interferons. Although human pDCs can induce T cell responses upon viral infection, it remains unclear if pDCs can present exogenous antigens. Here, we show that human pDCs exploit FcγRII (CD32) to...
