Abstract

Abstract: Dendritic cells（DCs）are the most potent antigen-presenting cell（APC）and play important roles in innate immune defense as well as in adaptive immunity. The female genital tract is immunologically unique in its requirement for immunity against a wide array of pathogens and for tolerance the allogeneic sperm and the semi-allogeneic embryo. This review summarizes the latest advances in our understanding of DCs in the genital tract with respect to their subsets，lineage，and function.

Key words: Dendritic cells, Genitalia, female, Immunity, mucosal, Pregnant women
