Summary: | Over the last decade, multiple studies have investigated the heterogeneity of murine conventional dendritic cells type 2 (cDC2s). However, their phenotypic similarity with monocytes and macrophages renders their clear identification challenging. By creating a protein atlas utilizing multiparameter flow cytometry, we show that ESAM+ cDC2s are a specialized feature of the spleen strongly differing in their proteome from other cDC2s. In contrast, all other tissues are populated by Clec12A+ cDC2s or Clec12A− cDC2s (high or low for Fcγ receptors, C-type lectin receptors, and CD11b, respectively), rendering Clec12A+ cDC2s classical sentinels. Further, expression analysis of CD301b, Clec12A, and FcγRIIB/III provides a conserved definition of cDC2 heterogeneity, including the discovery of putative FcγRIIB/III+ DC3s across tissues. Finally, our data reveal that cell identity (ontogeny) dictates the proteome that is further fine-tuned by the tissue environment on macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), while monocytes and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) display subset intrinsic default settings.

•A surface protein library delineates cDC2 heterogeneity across tissues•ESAM+ cDC2s are a specialized feature of the spleen•The splenic cDC2 compartment is unrepresentative for the cross-tissue cDC2 network•Tissue cDC2 repertoires are subcategorized by Clec12A, CD301b, and FcγRIIB/III
Dendritic cells are central regulators of the immune system. Amon et al. analyzed the cDC compartment across multiple murine tissues, focusing on cDC2 heterogeneity. They delineated ESAM+ cDC2s as a specialized feature of the spleen, while cDC2 heterogeneity in all tissues was multilayered and defined by Clec12A, CD301b, and FcγRIIB/III. |
