Immature DCs are very efficient in Ag capture and can use several pathways, such as (a) macropinocytosis; (b) receptor-mediated endocytosis via C-type lectin receptors (mannose receptor, DEC-205)
or Fc?? receptor types I (CD64) and II (CD32) [uptake of immune complexes or opsonized particles ]; and (c) phagocytosis of particles such as latex beads , apoptotic and necrotic cell fragments (involving CD36 and ??v??3 or ??v??5 integrins), viruses, and bacteria including mycobacteria, as well as intracellular parasites such as Leishmania major. DCs can also internalize the peptide loaded heat shock proteins gp96 and Hsp70 through presently unknown mechanisms
