Abstract An mAb, NLDC-145, is described that specifically reacts with a group of
nonlymphoid dendritic cells including Langerhans cells (LC), veiled cells (VC), and
interdigitating cells (IDC). The antibody does not react with precursor cells in bone marrow
and blood. Macrophages are not stained by the antibody, but a subpopulation of Ia+
peritoneal exudate cells is recognized. Possible relationships of the various nonlymphoid
dendritic cell (NLDC) types are discussed.
