This discrepancy may be explained by the fact that Baldwin and colleagues considered all B220+ CD11c+ cells to be plasmacytoid DCs while we could discriminate between bona fide CD11b− B220+ DCs and a non described CD11b+ B220+ DCs subset that exhibit the specific feature of up-regulating MHC class II upon infection with L. major. Here, ITGAM is linked to infection.
