===In blood=== The blood DCs are typically identified and enumerated in [[flow cytometry]]. Three types of DCs have been defined in human blood: the CD1c+ myeloid DCs, the [[CD141]]+ myeloid DCs and the [[CD303]]+ plasmacytoid DCs. This represents the nomenclature proposed by the nomenclature committee of the [[International Union of Immunological Societies]].<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1182/blood-2010-02-258558 | pmid=20628149| year=2010| last1=Ziegler-Heitbrock| first1=L| title=Nomenclature of monocytes and dendritic cells in blood| journal=Blood| volume=116| issue=16| pages=e74β80| last2=Ancuta| first2=P| last3=Crowe| first3=S| last4=Dalod| first4=M| last5=Grau| first5=V| last6=Hart| first6=D.

Still, they can perform complex functions including chemokine-production (in CD1c+ myeloid DCs), [[cross-presentation]] (in CD141+ myeloid DCs), and IFNalpha production (in CD303+ plasmacytoid DCs).
