A dendritic cell (DC) is an antigen-presenting cell (also known as an accessory cell) of the mammalian immune system. A DC's main function is to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells of the immune system. They act as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems. [1]

2020年7月17日 · Dendritic cells are named after their shape and are not neurons with dendrites, as was thought when first discovered in the late nineteenth century. They are bone marrow and lymph-derived leukocytes or white blood cells. Dendritic cells play a …

2022年4月30日 · Dendritic cells are larger antigen-presenting cells with large cytoplasmic projections that are similar in structure to dendrites of nerve cells. The cells are irregular in shape with phase-dense granules, an irregular nucleus, and a small nucleolus.

International Symposia on Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunology

2024年3月19日 · In this article, we consider what dendritic cells (DCs) are, how they are generated, their function in the body and some medical conditions related to them. What are dendritic cells? DCs are named for their distinctive branching projections called dendrites.

Properties That Were First Used to Distinguish and Purify Dendritic Cells From Mouse Spleen

2024年4月10日 · Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with a unique shape and expression of CD11c and major histocompatibility complex class II molecules, among others (MHCII).

Dendritic cells are professional antigen-presenting cells typically found in the mucosa, skin, and lymphoid tissues.

2022年5月14日 · Dendritic cells (DCs) get their name from their surface projections (that resemble the dendrites of neurons). They are found in most tissues of the body and are particularly abundant in those that …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells (APC) that act as messengers between the innate and the adaptive immune systems. They are present in tissues that are in contact with the external environment, but also in an immature state in the blood, and upon activation they migrate to the lymph nodes to interact with T-cells and B-cells.
