A type of immune cell that boosts immune responses by showing antigens on its surface to other cells of the immune system. An antigen-presenting cell is a type ...

Antigen presentation allows for specificity of adaptive immunity and can contribute to immune responses against both intracellular and extracellular pathogens.

A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional ...

any of various cells (such as a dendritic cell, macrophage, or B cell) that take up and process an antigen into a peptide fragment which when displayed at ...

Dendritic cells are immune cells that process antigen material; they are present in the skin (Langerhans cells) and the lining of the nose, lungs, stomach, and ...

Antigen presenting cells include macrophages and dendritic cells. They are phagocytes that consume pathogens and then process those pathogens to find antigens.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are critical cells bridging innate and adaptive immune responses by taking up, processing, and presenting antigens to naïve ...
