Preferred Label : antigen-presenting cell;
Definition : An antigen-presenting cell (APC) or accessory cell is a cell that displays antigen
complexed with major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) on their surfaces; this process
is known as antigen presentation. T cells may recognize these complexes using their
T cell receptors (TCRs). APCs process antigens and present them to T-cells. (Wikipedia);
