Two subsets of sheep afferent lymph dendritic cells (DC) are defined by the differential expression of CD172a and CD45RA. The majority (∼70%) of CD172a + subset is CD45RA/CD11c + /CD207 + /TLR4 + . The CD172a − DC are CD45RA + /CD207 − and express low levels of CD11c and CD86. Real‐time RT‐PCR showed that CD172 + DC produce IL‐1 β and IL‐10 and high levels of IL‐18 but almost no IL‐12 p40 ; CD172a − DC express IL‐12 p40 but no IL‐10 and low levels of IL‐1 β and IL‐18. Gene gun‐delivered granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor ( p GM‐CSF) caused an early rise in the output of CD172a + DC, changes to DC phenotype and significant increases in the levels of expression cytokine transcripts. However, p GM‐CSF did not affect any qualitative changes to cytokine expression, CD172a + DC remained IL‐10 + /IL‐12 p40 − and the CD172 − DC remained IL‐10 − /IL‐12 p40 + .
