Abstract

Janela et al. find that during cutaneous bacterial infection, a minor subset of type I conventional dendritic cells (cDC1s) control neutrophil recruitment to the inflamed site and survival and function therein through the secretion of the cytokine VEGF-α. Skin cDC1s emerge as essential regulators of the innate response in cutaneous immunity and have roles beyond classical antigen presentation.
