antigen-presenting cells

Preferred Label : antigen-presenting cells;

MeSH definition : 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.;

MeSH synonym : cells, immunologic accessory; cells, antigen-presenting; immunologic accessory cell; antigen-presenting cell; accessory cell, immunologic; cell, antigen-presenting; immunologic accessory cells; cell, immunologic accessory; accessory cells, immunologic; antigen presenting cells; Antigen Presenting Cell;
