[colony-forming unit dendritic cell; dendritic cell colony-forming cells; dendritic cell colony-forming units] Term used to describe CD34(+) precursor cells derived from blood or bone marrow that, in the presence of various cytokines, eventually differentiate into colonies of pure dendritic cells in a colony formation assay as shown by immunophenotyping and cytochemical staining. These cells are distinct from CFU-GM, which give rise to colonies containing granulocytes and macrophages.
