" /> dendritic cells, follicular - CISMeF





Preferred Label : dendritic cells, follicular;

MeSH definition : 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 associated with T-CELLS. They are derived from MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS and are negative for class II MHC antigen and do not process or present antigen like the conventional dendritic cells do. Instead, follicular dendritic cells have FC RECEPTORS and C3B RECEPTORS that hold antigen in the form of ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEXES on their surfaces for long periods for recognition by B-CELLS.;

MeSH synonym : dendritic cell, follicular; follicular dendritic cell; follicular dendritic cells; dendritic reticulum cells, follicular;

MeSH annotation : DENDRITIC CELLS is also available;
