ImpactLow impact

Abstract in brief

Normal human dermis contains distinct dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, with CD11c+ BDCA1+ myeloid DCs being capable of stimulating T cells.
A separate population of macrophages marked by CD163 and FXIIIA, which are inactive in T cell stimulation but can accumulate pigments in tattoos.
Additionally, dermis includes plasmacytoid DCs identified by CD123 and BDCA2, highlighting the complexity of immune cells present in normal skin tissue.
