CD11c+ MHC-II+ CD8α+ cDC1s isolated from the spleen of both steady-state and B16-FLT3L tumor-bearing donor mice showed similar patterns of surface markers, including high XCR1, CD205, Clec9A and CD24, as well as no/low CD11b and SIRPα expression (Additional file 1: Figure S1), suggesting no major phenotypic alteration of cDC1s in B16-FLT3L tumor-bearing mice. Here, CD8A is linked to neoplasm.
