Question

From which of the following stem cells are DCs derived?

1) CLP
2) CMP
3) CEP
4) Both A and B
5) None of the above

Answer 1

Dendritic cells (DCs) are derived from both Common Lymphoid Progenitor (CLP) and Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP) stem cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given options, dendritic cells (DCs) are derived from both Common Lymphoid Progenitor (CLP) and Common Myeloid Progenitor (CMP) stem cells.

CLP gives rise to lymphoid cells such as B cells and T cells, while CMP gives rise to myeloid cells including dendritic cells.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4) Both A and B.
