Abstract
CD8(+) dendritic cells comprise a distinct cell type whose function is unclear. In this issue of Immunity, Mashayekhi et al. (2011) show these cells are essential for protection against the parasite Toxoplasma, but Edelson et al. (2011) show they are hijacked by Listeria during initial spreading.
