Abstract

Whereas CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs) were previously considered to be a minor DC subset in kidney disease, we and others have proven that they have a major role. Flt3 ligand is a growth factor essential for CD103+ DC development and survival. Flt3 inhibitors are currently used for cancer treatment, and potentially could be repurposed to treat kidney disease.
