Immunologic Accessory Cells Antigen Processing Cell Accessory Cell IMMUNOL ACCESSORY CELLS Dendritic cell Antigen-presenting dendritic cell APC antigen-presenting cell (APC) |
|
| Definitions |
A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.
