DC are specialized antigen‐presenting cells that serve as essential mediators of immunity
and tolerance. DC's functional versatility is enabled in part by the various DC subsets with
heterogeneous cell surface markers and anatomic locations. Here, we review the
development and homeostasis of DC found in lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues.
