More generally, these data are in line with the established propensity of cDC1 to secrete IL‐12 during infection by intracellular pathogens (Mashayekhi et al, 2011; Alexandre et al, 2016) and the implication of cDC1 in Th1 polarization during other parasitic infections such as leishmaniasis (Ashok et al, 2014; Martinez‐Lopez et al, 2015) and toxoplasmosis (Mashayekhi et al, 2011). This evidence concerns the gene MPPE1 and leishmaniasis.
