From: Quantification of dendritic cell subsets in human thymus tissues of various ages
PDCs increase gradually with the aging of the human thymus. A, IHC was used to present the mDCs and pDCs in human thymic tissue from different ages (1, 14, 26, and 40-years). CD11c was used to label mDCs and CD123 to label pDCs. Images are in 100×. B, the densities of pDCs and mDCs in the medulla and cortex were calculated respectively to show their changes with increasing age. C, the density of pDCs and mDCs in the medulla and cortex showed a changing trend with ageing, and the pDCs present a significant increase with ageing. (pDC group, n = 14; mDC group, n = 14)
