Description
2 types of dendritic cells (DCs) can be generated in vitro in the presence of Flt3-L: CD4+ equivalent CD24- DCs and CD8+ equivalent CD24+ DCs. miR-142-/- mice show a severe defect in the generation of CD4+ equivalent CD24- DCs. To understand the underlying mechanism, RNA expression was analyzed by Affymetrix microarray from the 2 in vitro subtypes of DCs derived from miR-142+/+ and miR-142-/- bone marrow cells.
