Characterization of CD56+ dendritic-like cells: a normal counterpart of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm?
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematological malignancy. Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), which are defined as lineage marker (Lin)(-)HLA-DR(+)CD56(-)CD123(+)CD11c(-) cells, are considered to be the normal counterpart of BPDCNs.
