  2. Dendritic cells (DC) constitute a unique system of cells able to induce primary immune responses. As a component of the innate immune system, DC organize and transfer information from the outside world to the cells of the adaptive immune system.

    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]

  4. They are phagocytes and antigen-presenting or accessory cells (messengers and activators) in our innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. Dendritic cells are formed from precursor cells in the bone marrow and lymph tissue and are one of three types of antigen-presenting cells.

    Dendritic cells (DCs), named for their probing, ‘tree-like’ or dendritic shapes, are responsible for the initiation of adaptive immune responses and hence function as the ‘sentinels’ of the immune system.

    Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that inform the fight against invasive pathogens while enforcing tolerance to self and harmless environmental antigens. They capture pathogens and receive signals from pathogens that influence the outcome of immune responses.

  7. Dendritic cells represent a distinct type of white blood cells capable of alerting the immune system about the presence of infections and activating the innate and adaptive immune response. The term ‘dendritic cell’ was given due to the tree-like or dendritic appearance of the cell.

    Dendritic cells (DCs) are the key link between innate immunity and adaptive immunity and play crucial roles in both the promotion of immune defense and the maintenance of immune...

  9. Activated dendritic cells secrete cytokines that influence both innate and adaptive immune responses, making these cells essential gatekeepers that determine whether and how the immune system responds to the presence of infectious agents.

    Dendritic cells are a multifunctional group of cells that serve as sentinels of the immune system and thus regulate many immune functions. * Dendritic cells play a central role in initiating adaptive immune responses to pathogens and initiating antitumor immune responses.

  11. Dendritic cells (DCs) form a remarkable cellular network that shapes adaptive immune responses according to peripheral cues. After four decades of research, we now know that DCs arise from a hematopoietic lineage distinct from other leukocytes, establishing the DC system as a unique hematopoietic branch.
