A special type of cell that is a key regulator of the immune system, acting as a professional antigen-presenting cell (APC) capable of activating naïve T cells and stimulating the growth and differentiation of B cells. Dendritic cells are found, for example, in the lymph nodes and spleen. As an APC, a dendritic cell can retain antigen for long peri [..]

A special type of immune cell that is found in tissues, such as the skin, and boosts immune responses by showing antigens on its surface to other cells of the immune system. A dendritic cell is a type [..]

A special type of antigen-presenting cell (APC) that activates T lymphocytes.

immunes cells who’s main function is to process antigen material and present it on the surface to other cells of the immune system. Dendritic cells are present in tissues in contact with the external [..]

A special type of immune cell that is found in tissues, such as the skin, and boosts immune responses by showing antigens on its surface to other cells of the immune system. A dendritic cell is a type of phagocyte and a type of antigen-presenting cell (APC).

an immune cell that functions in antigen presentation and activation of T lymphocytes. Dendritic cells have a branched morphology that resembles dendrites of a neuron.

Non-hematopoietic Cells, with extensive dendritic processes, found in the primary and secondary follicles of Lymphoid Tissue (the B Cell zones). They are different from conventional Dendritic Cells as [..]

Antigen-Presenting Cells of Dendritic Cell morphology found in the Lymph Nodes and other Lymphoid Tissues.

A type of antigen-presenting cell found in many tissues throughout the body. Dendritic cells capture antigens with their threadlike tentacles and present the antigens to T lymphocytes (T cells), stimulating an immune response. See Related Term(s): Antigen-Presenting Cell

A special type of immune cell that is found in tissues, such as the skin, and boosts immune responses by showing antigens on its surface to other cells of the immune system. A dendritic cell is a type of phagocyte and a type of antigen-presenting cell (APC).

an antigen

an antigen-presenting cell that helps regulate the immune system

a type of antigen presenting cell which processes antigens and presents them to cells of the adaptive immune system in order to generate a specific immune response.
